Math Problem Statement
The entire graph of the function g is shown in the figure. Write the domain and range of g using interval notation.
Solution
Let's analyze the graph to determine the domain and range of the function , then express them in interval notation.
Domain:
The domain refers to the set of all possible -values the function takes. From the graph:
- The function starts at (where the left-most point is) and ends at (where the right-most point is).
- Both endpoints are closed circles, indicating the points are included in the domain.
Thus, the domain is:
Range:
The range refers to the set of all possible -values the function takes. From the graph:
- The highest point on the graph is (at ).
- The lowest point on the graph is (at ).
- Both endpoints are included, as represented by the closed circles.
Thus, the range is:
Final Answer:
- Domain:
- Range:

- Can you explain why closed circles represent inclusion of the endpoint in the domain and range?
- How would the domain and range change if there were vertical or horizontal asymptotes?
- Can you describe how to find the range of a more complex function like a quadratic or cubic?
Tip: Always check endpoints of the graph carefully. Open circles indicate exclusion, while closed circles indicate inclusion.
