Domain and range of a linear function in interval notation. When using interval notation domain and range are written as intervals of values. Open parentheses closed parentheses infinity imagine an 8 sideways negative infinity an 8 sideways with a negative sign in front of it and union a symbol similar to an elongated u. To find the range is a bit trickier than finding the domain. Write the numbers separated by a comma in ascending order.

Generally for continuous linear function equations the domain and range will be all real numbers except when the denominator becomes zero 0. This video will help you to understand the basic concepts and methods for deriving the domain range and some of the interval notations used for non continuous functions. The range of a function is the set of output values when all x values in the domain are evaluated into the function commonly known as the y values this means i need to find the domain first in order to describe the range. Since the range and domain of a function are usually expressed in interval notation it s important therefore to discuss the concept of interval notation.

Given a real world situation that can be modeled by a linear function or a graph of a linear function the student will determine and represent the reasonable domain and range of the linear function using inequalities. D indicates that you are talking about the domain and read as negative infinity to positive infinity is another way of saying that the domain is all real numbers. For f x x 2 the domain in interval notation is. Example 2 find the domain of function f defined by solution to example 2.

Hence the domain in interval notation is given by the set 1 u 1 matched problem 1 find the domain of function f defined by answers to matched problems 1 2 3 and 4. Write the domain of the graph of the function shown below in interval notation. Hence the domain in interval notation is written as. I highly recommend that you use a graphing calculator to have an accurate picture of the.

The expression defining function f contains a square root. The open circles at x 4 x 2 and x 2 indicates that these values are not included in the domain. Solution to example 6 the graph starts at values of x 8 and ends at values of x 2. Range of a function.
