Algebra.Com's Answer #286084 by neatmath(302)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the function you are asking about is \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then it is easy to see that there are no possible discontinuities. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When we speak of discontinunities, we are looking for values of x where f(x) is not defined. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The best examples of these are when you end up with zero in the denominator, or when you have the square root of a negative number. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So without any visible discontinuities, we can see that the domain of f(x) is ALL REAL NUMBERS. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The range of f(x) is also ALL REAL NUMBERS for the same reasoning. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if the function is \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then we can see a potential discontinuity when x=0 \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When x=0, we have 0 in the denominator which is not allowed. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the domain of that function would be ALL REAL NUMBERS except 0. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The range of that function would be ALL REAL NUMBERS except 5. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you ask a question, be very careful of how you \"group\" the variables and numbers. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the original question, it is hard to tell if the function you are asking about is \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps! :) \n" ); document.write( " |
