Question

What is the domain and range of the function shown in the graph?

Answer 1

The domain is the set of all x values which are defined (appear on the graph) of the function. In this system, all values from negative infinity to 0, but not including zero, and all values above zero, through positive infinity, are valid. We can write this in set builder notation as x: (-∞,0)∪(0,∞).

The range is the set of all y values which are defined in the function. Like the domain, the range of this function contains all value from negative infinity to positive infinity except zero. Same notation: y: : (-∞,0)∪(0,∞).
