Example Question #41 : Domain And Range
What is the range of the function ?
The smallest value that the function can have is when the square root part of the function is zero (it cannot be smaller than zero).
The smallest value is -6, so the range must be
Example Question #42 : Domain And Range
What is the range of the function ?
The largest value that the function can have is when the square root part of the function is zero (it cannot be smaller than zero).
The largest value is 3, so the range must be

Example Question #43 : Domain And Range
What is the domain and range of the following equation:
The domain of any quadratic function is always all real numbers.
The range of this function is anything greater than or equal to 5.
These written in the correct notation is:
Soft brackets are needed for infinity and a hard square bracket for 5 because it is included in the solution.
Example Question #43 : Domain And Range
What is the domain of the following function?
To figure out the values that x (your domain) can't be you need to set the denominator equal to 0 since you cannot have 0 in the denominator.
When you solve this you get
This means that you have have all values of x other than -5.
This notation of this is:
Example Question #71 : Functions And Graphs
What is the domain and range of the graph below?
None of the above
This function has the domain of x can't be 0 as well as the range of y can't be 0.
This means that the domain and range of these functions include everything but 0, which is denoted as:
and
Example Question #44 : Domain And Range
What is the range of the following inequality:
Upon solving this inequality you get
This means that "y" is all values including 18 and greater.
Written as interval notation you get:
Example Question #41 : Domain And Range
What is the domain of the following equation:
The trick here is to factor the top. Upon doing so you get:
From here you can cancel your "x+3"s to get
which has a domain of
Example Question #45 : Domain And Range
Determine the domain of the following function:
The domain of this function - the possible x values - is not limited at all by the numerator of the fraction, but by the denominator. When the denominator of a fraction is zero, this value is undefined.
To determine where x cannot exist, we must set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:
The only restriction on x is at this value, so our domain is
Example Question #71 : Functions And Graphs
Find the domain of the function; express the domain in set builder notation,
(all real numbers)
Finding the Domain
The domain of a function is the set of all over which the function is defined.
When adding functions the domain is the intersection between the domains of the two functions. In our case we will consider to be the sum of two funcitons and . The domain of is simply all real numbers , so the domain of will be whatever the domain of .
The domain of can be found by remembering that everything under the radicand must be either a postive real number or zero. Apply this condition,
So the domain is,
Here we can see graphically what happens when we add the fucntions. The red line is , and the green curve is . The blue line is the sum of these two fucntions , and has the same domain as the function in green which starts at , and continues for all real numbers greater than .
