The question
Question: find the domain and range of the points (−2, 0), (0, 3), (1, 3), (4, −1).
(−2, 0), (0, 3), (1, 3), (4, −1)
The domain is all the x's we can put in.
The range is all the answers, the y's, that can come out.
domain = the x's that can go in
range = the y's that can come out
1 Read the x's
The first number of each point is its x: −2, 0, 1 and 4.
So the domain is {−2, 0, 1, 4}.
domain = { −2, 0, 1, 4 }
2 Read the y's
The second number of each point is its y: 0, 3, 3 and −1.
3 is there twice.
We write it once.
So the range is {−1, 0, 3}.
range = { −1, 0, 3 }
Let's look back.
First: read the x's.
Last: read the y's.
Answer
range = { −1, 0, 3 }
