Find the range

Find the range for the function f(x) = 2x - 5 with the domain D = {0, 1, 2}.

Solution

We are given the function f(x)=2x5f(x) = 2x - 5 and the domain D={0,1,2}D = \{0, 1, 2\}. To find the range, we need to compute the values of f(x)f(x) for each element in the domain.

  1. For x=0x = 0: f(0)=2(0)5=5f(0) = 2(0) - 5 = -5

  2. For x=1x = 1: f(1)=2(1)5=25=3f(1) = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3

  3. For x=2x = 2: f(2)=2(2)5=45=1f(2) = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1

Thus, the range RR is the set of all resulting values: R={5,3,1}R = \{-5, -3, -1\}

Here are 5 related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you find the range for a different domain in the same function?
  2. What is the significance of the slope (2) and intercept (-5) in the function f(x)=2x5f(x) = 2x - 5?
  3. How can you determine the domain of a function if it's not explicitly given?
  4. What would the graph of f(x)=2x5f(x) = 2x - 5 look like, and how can we interpret it?
  5. How does changing the domain affect the range of a linear function?

Tip:

Always substitute the domain values carefully and double-check your calculations to avoid errors when finding the range!
