Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the given graph.

Solution

To find the domain and range of the given graph:

Domain

The domain is the set of all possible xx-values that the graph covers. From the graph, we see that:

  • The graph extends infinitely to the left and right (as shown by the arrows).
  • This means the domain is all real numbers.

Thus, the domain is: Domain=(,)\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty)


Range

The range is the set of all possible yy-values that the graph covers. From the graph:

  • The lowest point is at y=1y = 1, which corresponds to the vertex of the "V" shape.
  • The graph increases infinitely upward from the vertex.

Thus, the range is: Range=[1,)\text{Range} = [1, \infty)

  2. How do we determine if a function like this is one-to-one?
  3. Can you write the piecewise function corresponding to this graph?
  4. How would the domain or range change if the vertex were shifted?
  5. What kind of transformations can create a similar graph?

Tip: Always check the graph's arrows to confirm infinite behavior when determining the domain and range.
