How do you determine the domain of a function from its graph?

Back

The domain can be determined by identifying the x-values for which the graph has points. It includes all x-values that the graph covers.

What does it mean if a function has a restricted domain?

Back

A restricted domain means that there are certain values of x that are not included in the domain, often due to division by zero or square roots of negative numbers.

How do you express the domain of a function using interval notation?

Back

Interval notation uses brackets [ ] for inclusive endpoints and parentheses ( ) for exclusive endpoints to describe the set of x-values.
