Exploring Domain, Range, and Interval Notation

The video tutorial covers key mathematical concepts including domain, range, increasing and decreasing intervals, and interval notation. It begins with a review of domain and range, explaining how they are represented using inequalities. The tutorial then introduces increasing and decreasing intervals, emphasizing their application to functions. Interval notation is presented as a shorthand for inequalities, with examples illustrating its use. The video concludes with practical examples of finding domain, range, and intervals on various graphs, reinforcing the concepts discussed.

What does the domain of a function represent?

• All possible y values

• All possible x values

• The highest point on the graph

• The lowest point on the graph

When do you use inequalities to represent domain and range?

• For graphs with only one point

• For connected graphs

• For graphs with no points

• For discrete points on a graph

What is an increasing interval?

• Values for x where y values are decreasing

• Values for y where x values are decreasing

• Values for y where x values are increasing

• Values for x where y values are increasing

In the context of increasing and decreasing intervals, what does an open interval mean?

• The interval does not include the endpoints

• The interval includes all points

• The interval includes the endpoints

• The interval includes only one endpoint

What does interval notation provide a shorthand for?

• Functions

• Graphs

• Inequalities

• Equations

When should you use a parenthesis in interval notation?

• When the value is zero

• When the value is inclusive

• When the value is not inclusive

• When the value is negative

How would you write the interval for x between 3 and 10, where 3 is not included and 10 is included?

• (3, 10]

• [3, 10)

• (3, 10)

• [3, 10]

What is the domain of a function that includes all x values from negative infinity to infinity?

• (-∞, ∞)

• [0, ∞)

• [0, 0]

• (-∞, 0]

If a graph has an open circle at x = 1, what does it mean for the domain?

• The domain starts at x = 1

• The domain ends at x = 1

• x = 1 is not included in the domain

• x = 1 is included in the domain

What is the range of a function that includes all y values from negative infinity to infinity?

• [0, 0]

• (-∞, 0]

• [0, ∞)

• (-∞, ∞)
