Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem shown in the image asks for the domain of a function based on the given graph. The domain refers to the set of all possible input values (typically the -values) for which the function is defined.
From the graph:
- The left part of the graph shows a curve starting at and going to , but it is open at , meaning is not included in the domain.
- There is a gap between and where the function is not defined.
- The function resumes at and continues to , including both and .
Thus, the domain of the function in interval notation is:
This indicates that the function is defined for all -values between and (not including ) and between and (including both and ).
Would you like further explanation on how the domain was determined, or do you have any other questions?
Here are 5 questions that might help you explore more:
- How do you find the domain from a graph?
- What is interval notation, and how does it work?
- What are the key differences between open and closed intervals in domain notation?
- How does the behavior of the function at affect the domain?
- Could there be different types of functions where gaps in the domain appear for other reasons?
Tip: Always check if a graph has any gaps, vertical asymptotes, or points where the function is undefined, as these will directly impact the domain.
