Math Problem Statement
find the range and domain
Solution
The graph you've uploaded shows a curve on a coordinate plane. Let's determine the domain and range based on the graph.
Domain:
The domain is the set of all possible -values (horizontal axis) for which the function is defined.
- The curve starts from the far left and continues rightwards.
- On the left, it appears to extend indefinitely to the left (towards negative infinity), and it also includes (the point where the curve changes direction).
- On the right, the curve ends at the point , and this point is an open circle, indicating that is not included in the domain.
Thus, the domain is .
Range:
The range is the set of all possible -values (vertical axis) that the function can take.
- The curve starts from a maximum value at the top, which appears to occur at and goes downward.
- The curve continues to extend downward towards .
- However, the curve only goes up to at the right end, where (but not including since it is an open circle).
Thus, the range is .
Summary:
- Domain:
- Range:

Tip: Always check the endpoints of the curve when determining domain and range; open circles indicate the value is not included, while closed circles indicate it is included.
