We can also say that “y is a
function of x”
y = f(x)
The notation f(x) does not
mean f multiplied by x.

In other words, f(x) denotes


the y-value (range) that the
function f pairs with x-value
4
(domain). Thus, f(1) denotes
the value of y at x = 1.

Since the domain or range of a function is often
an infinite set of values, it is often convenient to
represent your answers in set-builder
notation.
Examples:
• {x | x < -2} reads “the set of all x such that x is
less than negative 2”.
• {x : x < -2} reads “the set of all x such that x is
less than negative 2”.

Another way to describe an infinite set of
numbers is with interval notation.
• Parenthesis indicate that first or last
number is not in the set:
• Example: (-, -2) means the same thing as
x < -2
• Neither the negative infinity or the
negative 2 are included in the interval
• Always write the smaller number, bigger

• Brackets indicate that first or last
number is in the set:
• Example: (-, -2] means the same thing
as x  -2
• Infinity (positive or negative) never gets a
bracket
• Always write the smaller number, bigger
number

Domain and Range:
Equations
• Domain: What you are allowed to plug in for
x.
• Easier to ask what you can’t plug in for x.
• Limited by division by zero or negative even roots
• Can be explicit or implied
• Range: What you can get out for y using the
domain.
• Easier to ask what you can’t get for y.
