Math Problem Statement

Solve for y, sketch, and apply the domain for y = -3 with x ∈ [-1, 4].

Solution

The problem presented asks you to solve for yy, sketch the graph, and apply the domain. The equation is given as:

y=3y = -3 with the domain: x[1,4]x \in [-1, 4]

Solution:

  1. Solve for yy: The equation y=3y = -3 is already solved. It represents a horizontal line where the value of yy is always 3-3 for any xx-value.

  2. Sketch the Graph:

    • The graph will be a horizontal line at y=3y = -3.
    • The domain is x[1,4]x \in [-1, 4], meaning the line will only be drawn from x=1x = -1 to x=4x = 4.
  3. Apply the Domain:

    • The domain restriction implies that the line will be limited to the segment between x=1x = -1 and x=4x = 4 on the x-axis.
    • At x=1x = -1, the point is (1,3)(-1, -3).
    • At x=4x = 4, the point is (4,3)(4, -3).
    • These two points will be the endpoints of the horizontal line.

Would you like a more detailed explanation or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might want to explore:

  1. What is the range of the function y=3y = -3?
  2. How does the domain restriction affect the graph of the line?
  3. How would the graph look if the domain were all real numbers instead of [1,4][-1, 4]?
  4. How would you express the range for this particular graph?
  5. What other types of equations produce horizontal lines?

Tip: Horizontal lines have equations of the form y=cy = c, where cc is a constant, meaning yy does not depend on xx.
