Answer:
The area of the triangle is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The area <em>A</em> of a triangle is given by the formula where <em>b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height of the triangle.
From the graph, we can see that the base is 3 units and the height is 4 units. Therefore, the area of the triangle is
The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.
Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that
To write this in interval notation, we would write This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.
The range is the set of y values such that
In interval notation, it would be written as This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity
note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity
