How To Do Domain And Range Using Interval Notation
For the domain and the range we approximate the smallest and largest values since they do not fall exactly on the grid lines.
How to do domain and range using interval notation. In the previous examples we used inequalities and lists to describe the domain of functions. The final question on the exit slip is to check for student understanding that an odd function with arrows will have the same domain and range. Why should we care. Interval notation is a method used to write the domain and range of a function.
The interval for both will be all real numbers or negative infinity to positive infinity. All polynomials have a domain of all real numbers.

In interval notation the domain is 1973 2008 and the range is about 180 2010. On the horizontal number line that covers all numbers from left to right your x axis. D indicates that you are talking about the domain and read as negative infinity to positive infinity is another way of saying that the domain is all real numbers. For the domain and the range we approximate the smallest and largest values since they do not fall exactly on the grid lines.
Stick with those and you will have a polynomial. Students need to correctly represent infinity using parentheses in interval notation. For f x x 2 the domain in interval notation is. We can also use inequalities or other statements that might define sets of values or data to describe the behavior of the variable in set builder notation for example latex left x 10 le x 30 right latex describes the behavior of latex x latex in set builder notation.
In interval notation there are five basic symbols to be familiar with. In advanced mathematics interval notation is the preferred method of representing domain and range and is cleaner and easier to use and interpret. In interval notation we write. Do you notice that each one of those functions has powers of x that are whole numbers.
