Example Question #1 : How To Find The Domain Of A Function
Give the domain of the function:
The domain of a rational function is the set of all values of for which the denominator is not equal to 0, so we set the denominator to 0 and solve for .
This is a quadratic function, so we factor the expression as , replacing the question marks with two numbers whose product is 9 and whose sum is . These numbers are , so
becomes
,
or .
This means that , or .
Therefore, 3 is the only number excluded from the domain.
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Domain Of A Function
Give the domain of the function:
The set of all real numbers.
The domain of a rational function is the set of all values of for which the denominator is not equal to 0 (the value of the numerator is irrelevant), so we set the denominator to 0 and solve for to find the excluded values.
This is a quadratic function, so we factor the expression as , replacing the question marks with two numbers whose product is 8 and whose sum is . These numbers are , so
becomes
So either
, in which case ,
or , in which case .
Therefore, 2 and 4 are the only numbers excluded from the domain.
Example Question #32 : Domain And Range
What is the domain of the function?
In order for the function to be real, the value inside of the square root must be greater than or equal to zero. The domain refers to the possible values of the independent variable (x-value) that allow this to be true.
For this term to be real, must be greater than or equal to zero.

Range:
The domain is the set of all potential x-values. In this case, the graph does not extend to the left of nor to the right of , so the x-values stay between these numbers. We would write this inequality as follows: .
The range is the set of all potential y-values. In this case, the graph does not extend above or below , so the y-values stay between these numbers. We would write this inequality as follows: .
Example Question #582 : Algebra Ii
State the domain and range for this parabolic graph:
Domain:
Range:
Domain:
Range: all real numbers
Domain:
Range: all real numbers
Domain:
Range:
Domain: all real numbers
Range: all real numbers
Domain:
Range: all real numbers
The domain is the set of all potential x-values. In this case, the graph starts at and never extends to the left of this point. This means that , inclusive. The range is the set of all potential y-values. In this case, there are no restrictions on the y-axis, so the range is the set of all real numbers.
Example Question #33 : Domain And Range
What is the domain of ?
Based on the denominator, the only value for which does not exist is . Therefore, the domain exists for all value except for 3. In interval notation, the domain is
Example Question #32 : Domain And Range
Determine the range of the parabola .
All real numbers
The range of a function represents all values of that make the function true. On the other hand, the domain represents all values of that make the function true.
The parabola has a range that includes all numbers that are greater than or equal to . This is true because when , .
The range of this parabola is .
Example Question #66 : Functions And Graphs
What is the domain and range of the following graph?
Domain:
Range: All real numbers
Domain: All real numbers
Range:
Domain: All real numbers
Range:
Domain:
Range: All real numbers
Domain: All real numbers
Range: All real numbers
Domain: All real numbers
Range:
Domain looks at x-values and range looks at y-values.
The x-values appear to continue to go on forever, which suggests the answer:
"all real numbers"
The y-values are all number that are equal to nine or less which is
So you answer is:
Domain: All real numbers
Range:
Example Question #34 : Domain And Range
What is the domain of the function ?
The expression under the square root symbol cannot be negative, so to find the domain, set that expression .
The domain includes all x-values greater than or equal to 2, which can be written as .
Example Question #67 : Introduction To Functions
What is the domain of the function ?
The expression under the square root symbol cannot be negative, so to find the domain, set that expression .
The domain includes all x-values less than or equal to 7, which can be written as .
