Domain and Range

Learning Outcomes
1. Write the domain and range for a function using set
notation and interval notation
Useful Notation
 Domain & Range
• We describe the possible set of x-values as the domain
of a function
• and the possible set of y-values as the range.

• Domain

• Range
 Interval Notation

Example
 Set Notation

• Example: Find the domain

and range of this function.
 Questions

using
i) interval notation and
ii) set notation

a) Domain: {x: x ≥ -1} Range: {y: y ≤ 3}

b) Domain: {x: -1 < x ≤ 5} Range: {y: 1 < y ≤ 3}

c) Domain: {x: x ≠ 2} Range: {y: y ≠ -1 }

d) Domain: {x: x ε R} Range: {y: 0< y ≤ 2 }

e) Domain: {x: x ε R} Range: {y: y ≥ -1 }

f) Domain: {x: x ε R} Range: {y: y ≤ 6 1/4}

g) Domain: {x: x ≥ -4 } Range: {y: y ≥ -3 }

h) Domain: {x: x ε R} Range: {y: y > -2 }

i) Domain: {x: x ≠ -2, x ≠ 2} Range: {y: y ≤ -1, y > 0}
