Math Problem Statement

Give the domain and range for the function shown below. Use interval notation.

Solution

To determine the domain and range of the function from the graph:

1. Domain:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible x-values for which the function is defined. Looking at the graph:

  • The function starts at x=5x = -5 and ends at x=5x = 5.
  • Therefore, the domain is [5,5][-5, 5].

2. Range:

The range of a function is the set of all possible y-values that the function can take.

  • The lowest point of the graph is at y=4y = -4, and the highest point is at y=5y = 5.
  • Therefore, the range is [4,5][-4, 5].

Answers in Interval Notation:

  • Domain: [5,5][-5, 5]
  • Range: [4,5][-4, 5]
