Math Problem Statement

Use the given domain to find the range of each function. f(x) = |x|, D = {-4, 0, -3} R = {,,}

Solution

To find the range of the function f(x)=xf(x) = |x| for the given domain D={4,0,3}D = \{-4, 0, -3\}, we evaluate the function at each point in the domain:

  1. f(4)=4=4f(-4) = |-4| = 4
  2. f(0)=0=0f(0) = |0| = 0
  3. f(3)=3=3f(-3) = |-3| = 3

Thus, the range RR is the set of outputs from these calculations:

R={4,0,3}R = \{4, 0, 3\}

If you have any questions or want further details, feel free to ask!

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the range if the domain was {5,2,2}\{-5, -2, 2\}?
  2. How does the function f(x)=xf(x) = |x| change if the domain includes positive numbers?
  3. Can the range of f(x)=xf(x) = |x| ever include negative numbers?
  4. How would the range change if the function was f(x)=xf(x) = -|x|?
  5. What is the range if the domain was {4,4,3,3}\{-4, 4, -3, 3\}?

Tip: The range of the absolute value function is always non-negative because absolute values represent the distance from zero.
