Math Problem Statement
Use the graph of the function f shown to answer the following questions: a. Find the domain and range of f and write your answer in interval notation.
Solution
To answer the question about the domain and range of the function based on its graph, I'll guide you through the steps:
Domain:
The domain of a function represents all the possible -values for which the function is defined. From the graph of , observe the -values for which the graph exists.
- Identify the leftmost point (smallest -value) and the rightmost point (largest -value) on the graph.
Range:
The range of a function represents all the possible -values that the function can take. From the graph of , observe the -values covered by the graph.
- Identify the lowest point (smallest -value) and the highest point (largest -value) on the graph.
Interval Notation:
Once you've identified the domain and range, you express them using interval notation.
- Domain in Interval Notation: where is the smallest -value and is the largest -value.
- Range in Interval Notation: where is the smallest -value and is the largest -value.
Example Explanation:
If the graph starts at and ends at , the domain is . If the graph covers -values from to , the range is .
Please describe or upload the graph so I can give a more accurate answer!
Do you want details or have any questions?
Here are 5 related questions to think about:
- How do we handle open or closed intervals in domain and range?
- What does it mean if the graph has breaks or gaps?
- How would the domain change if the function included vertical asymptotes?
- How does the graph's behavior at the endpoints affect the range?
- What happens to the range if the graph is reflected across the x-axis?
Tip: Always double-check if the graph includes points at the endpoints or if they are open, as this affects whether the interval is open or closed.
