Why does the domain differ for different functions?
The domain of a function depends upon what values of the independent variable make the function undefined or imaginary.
How do we determine the domain of a function defined by an equation?
Explain why the domain of is different from the domain of
There is no restriction on for because you can take the cube root of any real number. So the domain is all real numbers, When dealing with the set of real numbers, you cannot take the square root of negative numbers. So -values are restricted for to nonnegative numbers and the domain is
When describing sets of numbers using interval notation, when do you use a parenthesis and when do you use a bracket?
How do you graph a piecewise function?
Graph each formula of the piecewise function over its corresponding domain. Use the same scale for the -axis and -axis for each graph. Indicate inclusive endpoints with a solid circle and exclusive endpoints with an open circle. Use an arrow to indicate or Combine the graphs to find the graph of the piecewise function.
For the following exercises, find the domain of each function using interval notation.
Find the domain of the function by:
For the following exercises, write the domain and range of each function using interval notation.
For the following exercises, sketch a graph of the piecewise function. Write the domain in interval notation.
For the following exercises, given each function evaluate and
For the following exercises, given each function evaluate and
For the following exercises, write the domain for the piecewise function in interval notation.

Graph on the viewing window and Determine the corresponding range for the viewing window. Show the graphs.
Create a function in which the range is all nonnegative real numbers.
Create a function in which the domain is
Many answers. One function is
The height of a projectile is a function of the time it is in the air. The height in feet for seconds is given by the function What is the domain of the function? What does the domain mean in the context of the problem?
The domain is it takes 6 seconds for the projectile to leave the ground and return to the ground
The cost in dollars of making items is given by the function
