Domain Of A Parabola In Interval Notation
We use the closed interval for 10 because y 10 is included in the range.
Domain of a parabola in interval notation. The parabola has a maximum value at y 2 and it can go down as low as it wants. Find the domain and range of the quadratic function. In interval notation we write.
For f x x 2 the domain in interval notation is. The range is simply y 2. Since the graph does not extend down beyond the point 10 10 the minimum of parabola does not fall below 10 for any real value of x.
Therefore the domain is x the range is y 10. 0 r indicates that you are talking about the range. Given the graph identify the domain and range using interval notation.
You may recognize the graph of f as the upper half of the circle x2 y2 9 as shown in figure130. The summary of domain and range is the following. The vertex of the up parabola is at 10 10.
Just like our previous examples a quadratic function will always have a domain of all x values. For example the domain of the function f x 9 x2 is the interval 3 3 because x values less than 3 or greater than 3 result in square roots of negative numbers. Write the equation of your parabola in the form y ax 2 bx c where a b and c equal the coefficients of your equation.
Once you have located the vertex of the parabola you can use interval notation to describe the values over which your parabola is either increasing or decreasing. When using interval notation domain and range are written as intervals of values. For all quadratic functions the domain is always rr double r.
