Domain and Range

How to find the domain and range?

An important part of understanding functions is understanding their domain and range. Domain and range are all the possible x-values and y-values of the function, and can often be described easily by looking at a graph. In order to grasp domain and range, students must understand how to determine if a relation is a function and interpreting graphs.

This video provides two examples of how to determine the domain and range of a function given as a graph.
