@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

hint: in terms of x, the graph stretches from -infinity to infinity (on the x-axis)

Vocaloid:

but the range (y) does not. what's the minimum for range?

zarkam21:

anything that will make the denominator equal to zero and anything that will make an expression under a radical less than zero

Vocaloid:

well, those are conditions that will limit a domain/range, yes

Vocaloid:

but take a look at our graph. what's the smallest y-value a point can achieve?

Vocaloid:

can a point on the graph have a negative y-value?

zarkam21:

Yes

Vocaloid:

take a look at where the red line is where does it cross the x-axis?

zarkam21:

1

Vocaloid:

ok the draw tool isn't working let me draw it out

Vocaloid:

|dw:1508254926380:dw|

Vocaloid:

Vocaloid:

does the graph cross into the "negative y-value" regions?

zarkam21:

no

Vocaloid:

good, so y cannot be negative making its range [0,infinity)

zarkam21:

SO def a right

Vocaloid:

now looking at our choices, which two make sense?

Vocaloid:

we are restricting the domain on y but not x (x can be anything)

zarkam21:

c and a?

Vocaloid:

awesome, good work

Vocaloid:

I have about 15 minutes before I have to get to class ;_; I can probably help with 1 or 2 more
