Math Problem Statement

Determine the domain and the range of the given graph of a function.

Solution

The graph provided represents a piecewise function, where the goal is to determine its domain and range. To find the domain, we need to observe the horizontal extent (the x-values) of the graph.

From the graph:

  • The leftmost point appears at x=2x = -2.
  • The rightmost point appears at x=7x = 7.

Thus, the domain of the function is the set of all x-values from 2-2 to 77, inclusive, since both endpoints appear as solid points.

The domain in interval notation is: [2,7][-2, 7]

Would you like an explanation of how to determine the range, or do you have any further questions?

  4. Can a function have breaks in its domain?
  5. What are some common mistakes to avoid when finding the domain?

Tip: Always look at the x-values to determine the domain and the y-values for the range!
