Math Problem Statement

what are the domain and range of this function ?

What are the domain and range of this function?

Solution

To find the domain and range of the linear function shown in the graph:

Domain:

The domain represents the set of all possible xx-values for which the function is defined.

  • From the graph, the linear function starts at x=2x = 2 and ends at x=5x = 5.
  • Thus, the domain is the closed interval: Domain: [2,5]\text{Domain: } [2, 5]

Range:

The range represents the set of all possible yy-values for which the function is defined.

  • From the graph, the corresponding yy-values for the function start at y=2y = 2 and go up to y=8y = 8.
  • Thus, the range is the closed interval: Range: [2,8]\text{Range: } [2, 8]

Let me know if you'd like more details on how to determine domain and range, or if you have any other questions.

Here are 5 questions related to this topic:

  1. How do you determine the slope of the function from the graph?
  2. What would the equation of this line be?
  3. How would the domain change if the line extended further?
  4. How does the range relate to the slope of the function?
  5. Can a linear function have a domain or range that is not continuous?

Tip: The domain and range of a linear function are typically all real numbers unless the function is restricted in some way (like in this graph).
