Math Problem Statement

Analyze the graph provided in the image and answer the following questions: Determine the domain and range intervals, express the domain and range in set-builder notation, and find the values of f(0) and f(-2).

Solution

Let's analyze the graph in the image and answer the questions accordingly.

1. Domain Interval:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values). Based on the graph:

  • The function exists from x=4x = -4 to x=4x = 4.

Thus, the domain interval is: Domain Interval=[4,4]\text{Domain Interval} = [-4, 4]

2. Range Interval:

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values). From the graph:

  • The minimum value of yy appears to be y=2y = -2.
  • The maximum value of yy appears to be y=3y = 3.

So, the range interval is: Range Interval=[2,3]\text{Range Interval} = [-2, 3]

3. Domain SB (Set Builder notation):

The domain in set-builder notation specifies the set of x-values. Based on the domain interval: Domain SB={x4x4}\text{Domain SB} = \{ x \mid -4 \leq x \leq 4 \}

4. Range SB (Set Builder notation):

The range in set-builder notation specifies the set of y-values. Based on the range interval: Range SB={y2y3}\text{Range SB} = \{ y \mid -2 \leq y \leq 3 \}

5. Find f(0)f(0):

To find f(0)f(0), locate the y-value corresponding to x=0x = 0 on the graph:

  • From the graph, when x=0x = 0, y=2y = 2.

So: f(0)=2f(0) = 2

6. Find f(2)f(-2):

To find f(2)f(-2), locate the y-value corresponding to x=2x = -2 on the graph:

  • From the graph, when x=2x = -2, y=1y = 1.

So: f(2)=1f(-2) = 1

Related Questions:

  1. What would be the domain and range if the function was shifted 2 units up?
  2. How would the graph change if reflected across the y-axis?
  3. What is the significance of a function being continuous over its domain?
  4. How do we determine the maximum and minimum values of a function from its graph?
  5. What is the importance of understanding the domain and range in real-world applications?

Tip:

Always double-check the endpoints of a graph when determining the domain and range, especially if the function includes open or closed intervals.
