Question

How do you determine the domain of a function ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let y = f(x) be a function with an independent variable x and a dependent variable y.

If a function f provides a way to successfully produce a single value y using for that purpose a value for x then that

chosen x-value is said to belong to the domain of f. If there is a requirement that a y-value produced by a function

must be a real number, the following conditions are commonly checked:

1. Denominators cannot equal 0.

2. Radicands (expressions under a radical symbol) of even roots (square roots, etc)  

cannot have a negative value.

3. Logarithms can only be taken of positive values.

4. In word problems physical or other real-life restrictions might be imposed, e.g. time is  

nonnegative, number of items is a nonnegative integer, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

the domain is a set of all possible numbers inputs for that function, THe range is all the possible output numbers

i hope this helps
