1-126.
Identify the domain and range of the functions below. Then write a possible piecewise function for each.
Domain is the set of values that
can be, while range is the set of values that can be. Regarding the piecewise function:
Each piece has its own domain; be careful about open or closed intervals. Notice that both pieces are linear.
Notice that this graph has both a vertical and a horizontal asymptote, which may affect the domain and range respectively.
Regarding the piecewise function:
Notice that the left piece is a transformation ofwhile the right
piece appears to be.
Note that there is a gap between the two functions. So the boundary point on the left will be different from the boundary point on the right.
