Answer:
25) Domain: (-6, 6)
Range: [-5, 3)
26) Domain: [-3, 7]
Range: [-1, 5]
Explanation:
Definitions
- An open circle indicates the value is not included in the interval.
- A closed circle indicates the value is included in the interval.
- An arrow shows that the function continues indefinitely in that direction.
Interval notation
- ( or ) : Use parentheses to indicate that the endpoint is excluded.
- [ or ] : Use square brackets to indicate that the endpoint is included.
The domain is the set of all possible input values (x-values).
The range is the set of all possible output values (y-values).
Question 25
From inspection of the graph, the endpoints of the continuous curve are:
As the endpoints are open circles, the values are excluded from the domain and range.
Therefore, the domain in interval notation is:
The smallest y-value is y = -5 and the greatest y-value is y = 3.
Therefore, the range in interval notation is:
Question 26
The graph is a conic section (ellipse) and therefore it is not a function.
The smallest x-value is x = -3 and the greatest x-value is x = 7.
The smallest y-value is y = -1 and the greatest y-value is y = 5.
Therefore, the domain and range in interval notation are:
- Domain: [-3, 7]
- Range: [-1, 5]
