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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
