Discrete vs. Continuous Graphs & Domain vs. Range

Front

What is the difference between discrete and continuous graphs?

Back

Discrete graphs consist of distinct, separate points, while continuous graphs are represented by connected lines or curves.

Front

What type of data is represented by a discrete graph?

Back

Discrete graphs represent countable data, such as the number of items or occurrences.

Front

What type of data is represented by a continuous graph?

Back

Continuous graphs represent measurable data that can take any value within a given range.

Front

How can you identify a discrete graph visually?

Back

A discrete graph will show individual points that are not connected, indicating that the data is not continuous.

Front

How can you identify a continuous graph visually?

Back

A continuous graph will show a smooth line or curve, indicating that the data can take on any value within a range.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

Can the domain of a discrete graph be infinite?

Back

Yes, the domain of a discrete graph can be infinite if it includes all integers or other countable sets.

Front

Can the range of a continuous graph be infinite?

Back

Yes, the range of a continuous graph can be infinite if the function can produce values across an unbounded interval.

Front

What is an example of a discrete variable?

Back

An example of a discrete variable is the number of students in a classroom.
