How can you determine the domain of a relation from its graph? (I know what a domain is, and I know what a relation is, but I am confused on how to determine the domain from a graph)

The domain is always the x-value, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can look at the equation and look at the "x" values, plug in the "x" values until the equation is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah basically lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain is all the possible x-values of a function. for example the domain of y=x is all real numbers because x can be any number and the function will still hold true. it gets trickier with trig, rational, logarithmic, exponential, and root functions that can limit your domain. for example with y=sqrt(x), you can't have a square root of a negative number so x has to be greater than or equal to 0. That means your domain is x>=0.
