Find the domain and range of the
function π of π₯ equals π₯ minus one cubed in all reals.
Weβve already been given the graph
of this function, π₯ minus one cubed. So now we just need to think about
what the domain and range are. When we have a graph, the domain is
represented by the set of possible π₯-values and the range is the set of all
possible π¦-values. Itβs important to know that when we
have this type of graph, we know that they continue in both directions. While weβre only seeing a bit of
this function, from π₯ negative two to π₯ positive three, we know that it continues
in both directions. The same thing is true for the
π¦-values. Weβre only seeing π¦-values up to
positive 10 and down to negative 10.
However, this function continues
outside of this window on our graph. In this case, we have no limits on
our domain or range. The domain can be all real numbers,
and the range can be all real numbers. Itβs also possible that we might
want to write this in interval notation instead of in set notation. The interval of the domain would be
written as negative β to β. And in this case, the same thing
will be true for the range interval, all real numbers or values from negative β to
positive β.
With the interval notation here,
itβs important to note that we use the round brackets when we are not including what
is on the end. So what these say is that we want
to go up to β but not including β.
