give the domain and range of this function f(x)=x^2+3 i need solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what a domain and range is? let's begin from those definitions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

domain is x range is y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is how I remember it, domain (a range of values that the x-values have to lie between) range (a range of values that the y-values have to lie between)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, u are right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now can you imagine the graph of x^2 + 3? can you identify any dilation, reflection or translation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's simple to just give your answer, but the idea is for you to learn. so now think -> which values can this expression be - x^2+3 for example can it be less than 0? can you imagine the parabola?|dw:1359147216765:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think carefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what can the x-values be (this will be your domain) what can the y-values be (this will be your range)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so think is there a value which will make the function undefined( hint: example you can't take a square root of negative numbers or divide by zero). so do you see a reason why for certain x your functions is undefined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the answer but idk how my prof came up with this answer\[x=\sqrt{3}=[3,\infty)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is a weird answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on.lemme check the answer again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well x can be any value, because x^2 is defined for any real number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1359147538034:dw| thats the answer
