Math Problem Statement

Find domain and range

Find domain and range

Solution

From the graph you provided, it appears to be a parabola that opens upwards. Let's identify the domain and range based on the features of the parabola.

Domain:

The domain of a parabola like this is the set of all possible xx-values for which the function is defined. Since the parabola extends infinitely in both directions along the xx-axis, the domain is all real numbers.

Domain: (,)(-\infty, \infty) or in interval notation, xRx \in \mathbb{R}.

Range:

The range of a function is the set of all possible yy-values. In this graph, the parabola has its lowest point at y=0y = 0 and opens upwards. Thus, the yy-values start from 0 and increase without bound.

Range: [0,)[0, \infty) or y0y \geq 0.

Would you like more details on how to interpret this graph?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do we determine the vertex of a parabola from its equation or graph?
  2. What is the equation of this parabola based on the graph?
  3. How do you find the axis of symmetry of a parabola?
  4. How does the direction (upward or downward) of the parabola affect its range?
  5. What are the properties of a quadratic function that describe its behavior?

Tip:

When identifying the domain and range of a parabola, always consider whether it opens upwards or downwards, as this influences whether the range is limited from below or from above.
