Domain Interval Notation Math

Here we are going to see finding domain of rational function as union of interval notation a rational function r is a function of the form r x p x q x where p and q are polynomials wit h q 0.

Domain interval notation math. The domain of a rational function is the set of real numbers where the expression defining the rational function makes sense. Introducing intervals which are bounded sets of numbers and are very useful when describing domain and range. Enter your answers using interval notation f x x 2 4x 5 by signing up you ll. Interval notation is a notation used to denote all of the numbers between a given set of numbers an interval.

For example all of the integers between 12 and 16 including 12 and 16 would include the numbers 12 13 14 15 and 16. For f x x 2 the domain in interval notation is. Open parentheses closed parentheses infinity imagine an 8 sideways negative infinity an 8 sideways with a negative sign in front of it and union a symbol similar to an elongated u. When using interval notation domain and range are written as intervals of values.

D indicates that you are talking about the domain and read as negative infinity to positive infinity is another way of saying that the domain is all real numbers the range of f x x 2 in interval notation is. State the domain and range of the function. For example 3 x 2 3 2 and x ℝ 3 x 2 all mean that x is between 3 and 2 and could be either endpoint. Hence the domain in interval notation is written as 8 4 4 2 2 2 note the interval is open at x 4 x 2 and x 2 to indicate that these values are not included in the domain of the graph.

Interval notation is a method used to write the domain and range of a function. 0 r indicates that you are talking about the range. Google classroom facebook twitter. In interval notation there are five basic symbols to be familiar with.
