Given the equation of a line how do you state the domain and range?

On a worksheet that i have a problem has the following directions:

Graph: state the domain and range for each graph (use interval notation)

Example Problems:

1) y = -3/4x + 4

2) y <= 4 3) x > -2

4) y = I x I <--(Absolute Value Operation) 5) y = x^2 + 6x + 1

Remember:

Domain is all possible values for x . Think about what restrictions there would be: no zeros in denominators, no negatives under a square root.

Range is all possible values for y. After you graph the problem, you can usually see where the y values are.

Let’s look at each one now.

#1) y = -3/4 x + 4 I’m not sure if this is (3/4)x or 3/(4x), but I’m going to assume the first. So, this is a straight line. Straight lines go on forever. Therefore, both domain and range are all real numbers. In interval notation, you’d have to write the infinity sign (I’ll use @ for the sake of typing) and it would look like this (-@, +@)

#2) y < 4 The domain is all real numbers, but the range is restricted to be <4. D:(-@,+@) and R: (-@, 4) #3) Similar to #2, but domain is restricted: D: (-2,+@) and R:(-@,+@) #4) y = abs.val.x x can be any real number, but y can only be positive or =0. D:(-@,+@) R: [0, +@) Note: [losed and ()pen #5) this is a parabola, when you graph it, the vertex will be at the point (h,k) Domain is all reals, but the range is greater than or = to k. hope this helps!

The domain is what x values the function spans. Are there any x values that are undefined? No, so the domain is all real numbers. Since all x values are valid, all y values are valid, so the range is all real numbers. To tell if a graph is a function, you use the “vertical line test”. If, at any point on the graph, a vertical line only passes through only one point on the graph, it is considered a function. So, this equation is a function. A circle, however, is not a function.

domain (D) meanas what x values the graph takes

range(R) means what y values the graph can take

1. D: x is all real numbers, R: y is all real numbers

2.D x is all real numbers,R y is anything less than or equal to 4

3. Dx is anything greater than -2 R y is all reals

4. d: x is all reals R: y is anything greater than or equal to 0

5. D: x is all reals R: y is anything greater than or equal to -8 since the turning point of the parabola is at (-3,-8)
