What are all the values that the x-coordinate can have?

fabgirl1994 · Answer

Are you talking about where the line meets an exact coordinate?

mathstudent55 · Answer

No.
The graph you see represents a parabola.
A parabola extends forever.
Your parabola has a maximum value of y = 2, and it extends down forever.
As it goes down, into lower and lower y-coordinates, it gets wider and wider forever.

mathstudent55 · Answer

The domain is the set of all x-coordinates.
That deals with the width of the parabola.
What is the overall width of the parabola?

fabgirl1994 · Answer

5 coordinates

mathstudent55 · Answer

Don't confuse the small part of the parabola you see and the real parabola this graph represents.
The real parabola extends downward forever. It also extends right and left forever.
It only goes up to y = 2.
