Question

In Exercises 27 and 28, find the domain of the function

Answer 1

                                             Question 27

The graph on question 27 indicates that there are three points with the locations such as:

• (2, 6)

• (4, 12)

• (6, 18)

In other words, there are three points that lie on the graph with the x-values such as:

{(2, 6), (4, 12), (6, 18)}

We know that the domain includes the set of x-values.

Hence, the domain of the function is:

• Domain: {2, 4, 6}

Since the points are not connected between them. In other words, there is not a continuous line.

Thus, the function represented on the graph has a discrete domain.

                                        Question 28

The graph on question 27 indicates that the line segment with the end-points (0, 25) and (7, 20).

Since there is a continuous line between the points from x = 0 to x = 7.

Thus, the domain of the line function is:

• Domain: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

As the line segment is a continuous line. Thus, the domain is continuous.
