What is the range and domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kobeni-chan):

Range is always talking about the y values, and domain is always talking about the x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I tell the difference

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

range = how far Up and Down it goes domain = how far Left and Right it goes

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the arrow pointing forwards seem to indicate ever going, or \(\Large \infty\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Range : -3 -3 -5 Domaine -1 -2 -3 -4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now im super confused

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so....how far UP it goes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which one?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

both graphs... both graphs I'd think are part of the same equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok well it goes up to 2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap and down.... since the arrow is pointing downwards, I'd think it goes to \(\Large \infty\) thus the range then would be \(\Large [2, -\infty)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the domain would be that symbol and the range would be what you just put?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... the domain is how far left and right it goes based on the arrow pointing, I'd think it goes to -> infinity \(\Large \infty\) to the right but on left, it has a limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 5 right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1412891952673:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it seems to get to well... is not 5 or +5 is not positive 5 is negative 5 notice the graph BUT notice the HOLE there, it means it doesn't really touch it when the domain includes a number limit but doesn't touch it, you'd use a ( instead of a [

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

like in the case before, the domain was \(\Large [2, -\infty)\) meaning "2" is part of it, it touches it BUT infinity, is never touched... since infinite is not really a number, just a concept

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm the range I mean, was \(\Large [2, -\infty)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the domain would be - infinity -5?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm well... you got the left on the right and the right on the left

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1412892284526:dw|
