  1. 2.2 DOMAIN AND RANGE

  2. Definitions of Domain and Range If Q = f(t), then • the domain of f is the set of input values, t, which yield an output value. • the range of f is the corresponding set of output values, Q.

  3. Choosing Realistic Domains and Ranges Example 2 Algebraically speaking, the formula T = ¼ R + 40 can be used for all values of R. However, if we use this formula to represent the temperature, T , as a function of a cricket’s chirp rate, R, as we did in Chapter 1, some values of R cannot be used. For example, it does not make sense to talk about a negative chirp rate. Also, there is some maximum chirp rate Rmax that no cricket can physically exceed. The domain is 0 ≤ R ≤ Rmax The range of the cricket function is also restricted. Since the chirp rate is nonnegative, the smallest value of T occurs when R = 0. This happens at T = 40. On the other hand, if the temperature gets too hot, the cricket will not be able to keep chirping faster, Tmax=¼ Rmax+40. The range is 40 ≤ T≤ Tmax

  4. Using a Graph to Find the Domain and Range of a Function A good way to estimate the domain and range of a function is to examine its graph. • The domain is the set of input values on the horizontal axis which give rise to a point on the graph; • The range is the corresponding set of output values on the vertical axis.

  5. Using a Graph to Find the Domain and Range of a Function h height of sunflower (cm) Analysis of Graph for Example 3 A sunflower plant is measured every day t, for t ≥ 0. The height, h(t) in cm, of the plant can be modeled by using the logistic function Solution • The domain is all t ≥ 0. However if we consider the maximum life of a sunflower as T, the domain is 0 ≤ t ≤ T • To find the range, notice that the smallest value of h occurs at t = 0. Evaluating gives h(0) = 10.4 cm. This means that the plant was 10.4 cm high when it was first measured on day t = 0. Tracing along the graph, h(t) increases. As t-values get large, h(t)-values approach, but never reach, 260. This suggests that the range is 10.4 ≤ h(t) < 260 h(t) t time (days)

  6. Using a Formula to Find the Domain and Range of a Function Example 4 State the domain and range of g, where g(x) = 1/x.

  7. Solution The domain is all real numbers except those which do not yield an output value. The expression 1/x is defined for any real number x except 0 (division by 0 is undefined). Therefore, Domain: all real x, x≠ 0. The range is all real numbers that the formula can return as output values. It is not possible for g(x) to equal zero, since 1 divided by a real number is never zero. All real numbers except 0 are possible output values, since all nonzero real numbers have reciprocals. Therefore, Range: all real values, g(x) ≠ 0.
