Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Range And Domain

What is the domain of the function?   

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Notice this function resembles the parent function .  The value of  must be zero or greater.

Set up an inequality to determine the domain of .

Subtract three from both sides.

Divide by negative ten on both sides.  The sign will switch.

The domain is:  

Example Question #3 : Properties Of Functions And Graphs

What is the range of the function ?

Possible Answers:

All real numbers.

All real numbers except .

All real numbers except .

All real numbers except .

Correct answer:

All real numbers except .

Explanation:

Start by considering the term  will hold for all values of , except when . Thus,  must be defined by all values except  since the equation is just shifted down by .

Example Question #11 : Properties Of Functions And Graphs

What is the range of the equation ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The equation given represents a horizontal line.  This means that every y-value on the domain is equal to .

The answer is:  

Example Question #1 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of:

Possible Answers:

x-intercept= 4

y-intercept= -8

x-intercept=2

y-intercept=-4

x-intercept = 1

y-intercept = -2

x-intercept=-8

y-intercept=4

Correct answer:

x-intercept= 4

y-intercept= -8

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the value of x that will result in the y value equalling zero and the y-intercept is the y value that results when the x equals zero.

Therefore we replace x with zero to find the y-intecerpt.

Now we replace the y with a zero and find our x-intercept

Example Question #2 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

What is the y-intercept and x-intercept of the function:

Possible Answers:

x-intercept=12

y-intercept=12

x-intercept=-12

y-intercept=12

x-intercept=-10

y-intercept=10

x-intercept=-1

y-intercept=2

Correct answer:

x-intercept=-12

y-intercept=12

Explanation:

To find the x and y intercept of the function we need to do algebraic opperations first and then plug in zero for x to find the y-intercept and plug in zero for y to find the x-intercept.

 

y-intercept

x-intercept

Example Question #3 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

Define .

Give the -coordinate of the -intercept of the graph of  (nearest hundredth).

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Evaluate :

Example Question #4 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

Define 

Give the -coordinate of the -intercept of the graph of  (nearest hundredth).

Possible Answers:

The graph of  has no -intercept.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Set  and solve for :

Example Question #5 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

Define .

Give the -coordinate of the -intercept of the graph of  (nearest hundredth).

Possible Answers:

The graph of  has no -intercept.

Correct answer:

The graph of  has no -intercept.

Explanation:

Evaluate :

A negative number does not have a real even-numbered root, so  is not a real number. Therefore, the graph of  has no -intercept.

Example Question #5 : X Intercept And Y Intercept

Define .

Give the -coordinate of the -intercept of the graph of  (nearest hundredth).

Possible Answers:

The graph of  has no -intercept.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Evaluate :
