find the domain and range of the function F(x)=(x-1)^2+1
would the answer be (1,1)
(1,1) is the vertex of the parabola not the domain and the range.
i thought (h,k) would be the domain and range and in one of those equations its (x-h)^2+k
how would you find the domain and range then?
Domain means: What are the allowed values for x? Here we see NO restrictions placed on the x value. x can be anything from -infinity to +infinity. So the domain is: (-infinity, infinity) Range is the lowest to the highest value that y can take. This is a parabola that opens upward which means it has a minimum at the vertex. The vertex is (1,1) so the lowest y value is 1. The highest y value is +infinity. So range is: [1, infinity) Notice on the left is a bracket '[' and not a parenthesis '('. It means 1 is included in the range.
i have a question how did you find out that the x value has no restrictions?
