So we have three functions graphed. and we have some options. What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which function has all real numbers as its domain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix

zepdrix (zepdrix):

|dw:1441509316845:dw|Domain corresponds to your input values, your x's.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Which function spans aaaaaall the way to the left and right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I'll tell you that it's not g(x). Notice that g(x) goes from an x-value of around -2 up to as large as around 1 and a half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(X) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OR P(X) @zepdrix

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Well notice that it can't be g(x) because g(x) has points where it `ends`. We need a function that keeps on going in both directions. So which one does that? F or P?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(X) i think that's the one

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm P(x) has end points as well, that's no bueno. It doesn't extend in both directions forever and ever.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so we elimanate anyone that has G(X) AND its not P(X) so F(X) @zepdrix

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yay good job :O
