how does the domain and range effect an equation?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@blking you need ideas to get answers...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First I need to know what domain and range even is ;/

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes you look up their definitions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

domain are the x while range is the y?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

In math learning the "vocabulary" is very important...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, that is the general idea; but you need precisely worded definitions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain is all the values that x is allowed to take on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the range is "all real numbers"

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That's better...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does it mean for it all to be "all real numbers" ? I don't really get math..

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What grade?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11th.. I took semester classes so I haven't taken math in a year and a half. I've forgotten a lot of rules

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

real number: Any number that is either positive, negative, or zero.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

The set consisting of all the rational and irrational numbers.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@blking do you want an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\huge y=\frac{1}{x}$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What is the domain?
