What is a domain and range ?
Please give a example for me ?
--------------------
y = 8/sqrt(x-2)
-----------------------
Domain:
The denominator must not be zero
and (x-2) must not be negative.
--
Solve x-2 > 0
x > 2
---
Domain: All Real Numbers greater than 2
-----
Range: Since the numerator is positive and the
numerator is always positive y > 0.
---
Range: All Real Numbers greater than 0
