@rishavraj

rishavraj (rishavraj):

can u tell me whts the domain of tht equation??? @Christineluna

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one is all real numbers and the first one is \[x \le 2\] right?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup it means \[x \in (-\infty , 2]\]

rishavraj (rishavraj):

now once plug \[x = -\infty \] and see whts f(x)....u would get one extreme point after tht plug \[x = 2\] u will get another extreme point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so plug in whatever i get for x?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

\[for ~~ x = -\infty \] f(x) = \[\infty \] and for x = 2 f(x) = -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers look like \[y \le 2\] so would it be greater than or less than?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

hold on does tht say range is \[(-\infty , 2]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused cx but if your asking if there are answers that look like that than no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what the questions and answers look like

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Christineluna those ain't answers...its like Match the column

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i said in my message cx your trying to find the range not what exactly Y is

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see for the first question i mean the very first u uploaded.... \[x \in (-]\] so \[y \in [-2 , \infty)\] which means \[y \ge -2 \]

rishavraj (rishavraj):

\[its~~~x \in (-\infty , 2]\] this is for \[y = -2 + \sqrt{2 - x}\]

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Christineluna understood the first question????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get the -2 part but how did you come up with the sign ? (i mean the greater than sign)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see it is clear tht \[y \in [-2 , \infty) \] which means it is greater or equals to -2 .....so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still a tad bit confused xD but continue cx

rishavraj (rishavraj):

hold on uploading a pic

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

range is really just the length of outputs

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

one you know the domain the range is simple focus on knowing the domain and what can be taken by the function

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

once*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@xapproachesinfinity so how would you solve for the range?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you look at domain what x values make the function exist if there is problem in some inputs the outputs well not exist for those inputs

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

after knowing the domain we look where the outputs start and where they end if there exist and ending depends on what function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what would the answer be for the second one?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

rishv applied a good approach which knowing if the function is positive or negative for square roots we have y>= o so \[\sqrt{2-x}\ge0 \Longrightarrow -2+\sqrt{2-x}\ge-2 \Longrightarrow f(x)\ge-2 \]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

rish got the answer already

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that is the first!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the second the function accepts any input so f will produce all real numbers there is no rectrictions

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Am i looking at the right problem? you did first and second ?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Christineluna damn at last my internet connection worked....huh

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

neat :)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@xapproachesinfinity ?????

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i meant good job

rishavraj (rishavraj):

oo thanks:))

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yw:)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Christineluna u done with it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks makes more sense now ;p :D and yea thanks :D

rishavraj (rishavraj):

lol u r most welcome..... wht about the second question//

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

do you got why the P(x) has all reals ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea that was what i originally thought but i wasnt sure... thanks for explaining it :D

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yw

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

apply the same reasoning to the rest

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@Christineluna solved other questions??
