Domain and Range

Objec3ve:
Students will iden3fy the domain and range of a func3on regardless of the form the func3on is in. Students will communicate their reasoning about why a par3cular value may not be in the domain or range of a func3on.

I am KING of my domain
and my domain is my castle.

In modern words, Im in charge when Im at home. IN my house.

Given Q = f(t) the domain of f is the set of input values, t, which yield an output value. It is dicult to say what is in the domain. Fortunately, its easy to say what is NOT in the domain. Find what doesnt belong what belongs is everything else.

Example

Values NEVER in the domain:


Values which result in a zero in a denominator. Values which result in a nega3ve value underneath a radical of even root, like a square root. REMEMBER: The Domain is INPUT.

Iden3fy the domain of

Is there an x value which will make the denominator zero? YES When? when x = 3/2 Is there an x value which will yield a nega3ve value under an even root radical? NO

Iden3fy the domain of

Is there an x value which will make the denominator zero? NO Is there an x value which will yield a nega3ve value under an even root radical? YES....Let's nd out when the radicand is nega3ve.

Home, home on the Range.


When Im IN the house, Im in my domain. When Im OUT of the house, however, Im on the RANGE. Given Q = f(t). The range of f is the set of Do you see how I remember it? out put values, Q.

Finding the Range


Its tough to nd the range of a func3on if you dont know what the func3on looks like. Many 3mes, the easiest thing to do is graph the func3on.

Can the equa3on ever equal zero? NO Can the equa3on ever be nega3ve? NO

THINK
Can the equa3on ever equal zero? NO Can the equa3on ever be nega3ve? NO

What happens as t gets very large in the posi3ve direc3on? The denominator gets very close to 1. What happens as t gets very large in the nega3ve direc3on? The denominator gets HUGE, making y near 0.
