Question

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!! 1. What is the domain of the function shown below?

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A

$-8 \le x < 3 \text{ and } 4 \le x < 8$

=======================================================

Explanation:

Place your pencil on the curve. Then draw a straight vertical line either up or down until you reach the x axis. If you were to start at the left endpoint, and work your way to the right, you'll eventually shade the interval $-8 \le x < 3 \text{ and } 4 \le x < 8$ along the x axis.

We have two separate intervals being shaded in. There's a small gap from 3 to 4 that isn't shaded in.

Refer to the diagram below.
