Why do we need to find
accurately the domain
of a Function?
How to Find the (OUTPUT) RANGE
4
of a Function (that is explicit)
✓ Look for the correspondence
f = {(A, -1), (B,-2), (C,-3), (D, -4)}
Domain: (A, B, C, D)
Range: (-1, -2, -3, -4)
How to Find the (OUTPUT) RANGE of
5 a
Function
✓ In EQUATION, just simply substitute
each values in the domain to get the
corresponding values in the range
✓ The range of the function is actually
the value of the function at a given
value of x (domain)
✓ Substituting x values = evaluating
functions
Evaluation of Functions
✓ To find the value of y (range)
✓ Involves direct substitution of x-
values into the function (equation)
✓ To identify several ordered pairs
✓ To be able to sketch the graph of
a function 6
Recall!
1. Review of Evaluation of
Functions
✓ Check if the equation is F__…..
✓ Identify the D____….
✓ Apply direct S____….
✓ Perform the Operation involved
✓ Recheck your A___.... 7

Analogy: 23
Look into yourself…
What is your DOMAIN?
If the DOMAIN is
“what you are”, “what you can
do” or simply your “strengths”…
Analogy: 24
Look into yourself…
➢ So you will know your limitations
but at the same you can work on it
to improve your OUTPUT…
which is your character and
personality
