A function is a set of relation that doesn't have repetitive domain. If we want to know if a graph is function or not, we have to do the line test.
<u>Line</u><u> </u><u>Test</u>
- Draw a vertical line. Make sure that a line passes through a graph.
- See if a line intercepts a graph more than one point or just only one.
<u>Result</u>
If a line intercepts a graph more than one point, it is not a function.
However, if a line only intercepts a graph just one point, it is indeed a function.
The given graph from the question is a function because it passes line test.
<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>Range</u>
Domain is the set of all x-values, meaning we only focus on x-axis or x-value only.
Range is the set of all y-values. We only focus on y-value or y-axis for Range.
<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>
We can simply say that the domain is from starting domain or x-coordinate point to end x-coordinate point. For example, if a graph starts at x = -4 and ends at x = 2, we can say that - 4<=x=2.
<u>Determine</u><u> </u><u>Range</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>Graph</u>
Similar to Domain except Range starts from the minimum value or point to the maximum point or value. For example if a graph starts at min point = 6 and max point = 9. We can say that 6<=y<=9.
From the graph, the domain starts from negative infinity to positive infinity. Meaning that x can be any numbers. Hence, the domain is set of all real numbers. For range, the minimum value is 0 and max value is positive infinity. Therefore we write y>=0.
<h3><u>Answer</u></h3><u></u>
<u>Domain</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>set</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>all</u><u> </u><u>real</u><u> </u><u>numbers</u><u>.</u>
<u>Range</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>greater</u><u> </u><u>or</u><u> </u><u>equal</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u>
