Yes. For example, the domain and range of the cube root function are both the set of all real numbers.
Finding domains and ranges of the toolkit functions
We will now return to our set of toolkit functions to determine the domain and range of each.
For the
constant function
the domain consists of all real numbers; there are no restrictions on the input. The only output value is the constant
so the range is the set
that contains this single element. In interval notation, this is written as
the interval that both begins and ends with
For the
identity function
there is no restriction on
Both the domain and range are the set of all real numbers.For the
absolute value function
there is no restriction on
However, because absolute value is defined as a distance from 0, the output can only be greater than or equal to 0.For the
quadratic function
the domain is all real numbers since the horizontal extent of the graph is the whole real number line. Because the graph does not include any negative values for the range, the range is only nonnegative real numbers.For the
cubic function
the domain is all real numbers because the horizontal extent of the graph is the whole real number line. The same applies to the vertical extent of the graph, so the domain and range include all real numbers.For the
reciprocal function
we cannot divide by 0, so we must exclude 0 from the domain. Further, 1 divided by any value can never be 0, so the range also will not include 0. In set-builder notation, we could also write
the set of all real numbers that are not zero.For the
reciprocal squared function
we cannot divide by
so we must exclude
from the domain. There is also no
that can give an output of 0, so 0 is excluded from the range as well. Note that the output of this function is always positive due to the square in the denominator, so the range includes only positive numbers.For the
square root function
we cannot take the square root of a negative real number, so the domain must be 0 or greater. The range also excludes negative numbers because the square root of a positive number
is defined to be positive, even though the square of the negative number
also gives us
For the
cube root function
the domain and range include all real numbers. Note that there is no problem taking a cube root, or any odd-integer root, of a negative number, and the resulting output is negative (it is an odd function).
Given the formula for a function, determine the domain and range.
Exclude from the domain any input values that result in division by zero.
Exclude from the domain any input values that have nonreal (or undefined) number outputs.
Use the valid input values to determine the range of the output values.
Look at the function graph and table values to confirm the actual function behavior.
Step 1: Find the mean. To find the mean, add up all the scores, then divide them by the number of scores. ...
Step 2: Find each score's deviation from the mean. ...
Step 3: Square each deviation from the mean. ...
Step 4: Find the sum of squares. ...
Step 5: Divide the sum of squares by n – 1 or N.
The sample of 16 students is taken. The average age in the sample was 22 years with astandard deviation of 6 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the age of the population.
Bhartdarshan' is an internet-based travel agency wherein customer can see videos of the cities they plant to visit. The number of hits daily is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 2,400
a. what is the probability of getting more than 12,000 hits?
b. what is the probability of getting fewer than 9,000 hits?
