Topic 9 Domain and Range of Functions

Notes Key Points:

 When looking at the domain, we focus on the x axis.

 When looking at the range, we focus on the y axis.

Example We can define our domain using set builder notation.

Here the domain of the graph is the set of all the x-values.
Our x-values are infinite from -2 to 4
{x| -2≤ x ≤ 4}
Domain

We can define our range using set builder notation.

Here the range of the graph is the set of all the y-values.
Range
Our y-values are infinite from -2 to 2
{y| -2≤ y ≤ 4}

You Try Write the domain and range in set builder notation for the functions graphed below:

Topic 10 X-intercepts, Y-intercepts and Zeros of a Function

9
Notes  The x-intercept is located where the graph crosses the x-axis.
We write the x-intercept as an ordered pair.
 The y-intercept is located where the graph crosses the y-axis.
We write the y-intercept as an ordered pair.

Example Identify the x and y intercepts on these graphs.

a) X-intercept a) X-intercept
(2, 0) (4,0)
b) Y-intercept b) Y-intercept

(0, -2) (0, 3)

c) Zero c) Zeros
X=2 X=4

You Try Identify the x and y intercepts and zeros on these graphs.
