Question

What is the domain and range of the graph below in interval notation? If union is needed, use Capital U. If infinity is needed use inf or -inf Format like this: D: (0,1000) R: (-inf,1000) **note the spaces after and after domain, but no spaces inside intervals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

DOMAIN: $(-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)$

RANGE: $(-\infty,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a graph is the span of x-values covered by the graph, while the range of a graph is the span of y-values covered by the graph.

DOMAIN:

From the graph, we can see that the x-values covers everything to the left of x=1. Then we stop and then continue beginning at x=2 all the way until positive infinity.

However, note that at x=1, the dot is a closed circle while at x=2, the dot is an open circle. Thus, we will include x=1 into our domain but not include x=2 into our domain.

So, our domain is all values greater than or less than 1, and all values greater than 2.

In interval notation, this is:

$(-\infty,1]\cup(2,\infty)$

We use brackets with the 1 because we include it in our domain and we use parentheses with the 2 since we do not.

RANGE:

Looking at the graph, it seems that all y-values are covered. The part of the graph on the left covers all y-values less than or equal to 3, while the part of the graph on the right covers all y-values greater than -1. Thus, all y-values are covered.

Our range is all real numbers.

In interval notation, this is:

$(-\infty,\infty)$
