Math Problem Statement
The entire graph of the function g is shown in the figure. Write the domain and range of g as intervals or unions of intervals.
Solution
To determine the domain and range of the function based on the graph, we need to observe the x- and y-values that the function covers.
Domain:
The domain of a function consists of all the x-values where the function is defined. From the graph, we observe the following:
- The leftmost point is at , with a filled dot indicating that the function includes this value.
- The rightmost point is at , also with a filled dot indicating the function includes this value.
Thus, the domain is the interval:
Range:
The range consists of all the y-values that the function can take. From the graph, we observe:
- The lowest point occurs at , which is included as it's marked by a filled dot.
- The highest point occurs at , also included due to the filled dot.
Therefore, the range is:
Do you have any questions or want further details? Here are five related questions:
- How do we handle domain and range if the graph has open circles instead of filled dots?
- What happens to the domain and range when the function has gaps or discontinuities?
- Can a function have a range that extends to infinity?
- How do you define the domain of a function given only its equation?
- What does it mean for a function to be undefined at certain points?
Tip: Always check for filled or open dots on a graph to determine whether endpoints are included in the domain and range.
