Calculus-1-Domain-and-Range

The document defines domain and range in the context of functions, explaining that the domain consists of all possible x-values and the range consists of all possible y-values. It provides examples of functions with their corresponding domains and ranges, as well as theorems related to determining the domain of polynomial and rational functions. Additionally, it distinguishes between algebraic and transcendental functions and includes exercises for further practice.

DEFINITION: Domain and Range

All the possible values of x is called the domain and all


the possible values of y is called the range. In a set
of ordered pairs, the set of first elements and second
elements of ordered pairs is the domain and range,
respectively.

Example: Identify the domain and range of the


following functions.
1.) S = { ( 4, 7 ),( 5, 8 ),( 6, 9 ),( 7, 10 ),( 8, 11 ) }

Answer : D: { 4,5,6,7,8} R:{7,8,9,10,11}


2.) S = { ( x , y ) s. t. y = | x | ; x  R }
Answer: D: all real nos. R: all real nos. > 0
(−,+ ) [0,+ )
3) y=x2 –5
Answer. D: all real nos. R: all real nos. > -5
(−,+ ) [−5,+)
2x Answer:
4. y = D: all real nos. except -2
x+2 R: all real nos. except 2
D : (−,+)except − 2 R : (−,+)except + 2
Answer :
5. y = x +1 D: all real nos. > –1
R: all real nos. > 0
D : [−1,+) R : [0,+ )
Answer:
3−x
6. y = D: all real nos. <3
x−3 R: all real nos. <0

D : (−,3) R : (−  ,0 )
From the above examples, you can draw conclusions and
formulate the following theorems on the domain
determination of functions.
Theorem 1. The domain of a polynomial function is the set
of all real numbers or (-, +).
Theorem 2. The domain of n f ( x ) is the set of all real
numbers satisfying the inequality f(x)  0 if n is even integer
and the set of all real numbers if n is odd integer.
Theorem 3. A rational function f is a ratio of two polynomials:
The domain of a rational function consists of all values of x
such that the denominator is not equal to zero
P( x )
f (x) =
Q( x )
where P and Q are polynomials.
For the determination of the range of a function, this can
be done by solving for x in terms of y, then applying the
theorems on domain to the new equation. The final range

Theorem 2. The domain of n f ( x ) is the set of all real


numbers satisfying the inequality f(x)  0 if n is even integer
and the set of all real numbers if n is odd integer.
Theorem 3. A rational function f is a ratio of two polynomials:
The domain of a rational function consists of all values of x
such that the denominator is not equal to zero
P( x )
f (x) =
Q( x )
where P and Q are polynomials.
KINDS OF FUNCTIONS:
1.An algebraic function is the result when the
constant function, (f(x) = k, k is constant) and the
identity function (g(x) = x) are put together by
using a combination of any four operations, that is,
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and
raising to powers and extraction of roots.
x
Example: f(x) = 5x – 4, g( x ) = 2
2x +7 x − 4
Generally, functions which are not classified as
algebraic function are considered as transcendental
functions namely the exponential, logarithmic,
trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, hyperbolic and
inverse hyperbolic functions.
