Question

problems 1 - 2: valeria and thiago disagree about the domain of ( f(x) ).
valeria says the domain is ( -1.5 leq x leq 2 )
thiago says the domain is ( -4.375 leq x leq 3.5 )

  1. whose answer is correct? circle one.

valerias thiagos

  1. explain why the other persons answer is incorrect.

problems 3 - 5: haru bikes to his friends house. after a while, he heads home. on the way, he stops at the store to buy a bottle of water. ( d(t) ) represents harus distance from his house, in kilometers, after ( t ) hours. this graph shows harus distance over time.

  1. which inequality describes the domain of ( d(t) )?

a. ( 0 leq d(t) leq 2.1 ) b. ( 0 leq d(t) leq 8 )
c. ( 0 leq t leq 2.1 ) d. ( 0 leq t leq 8 )

  1. which inequality describes the range of ( d(t) )?

a. ( 0 leq d(t) leq 2.1 ) b. ( 0 leq d(t) leq 8 )
c. ( 0 leq t leq 2.1 ) d. ( 0 leq t leq 8 )

  1. if haru had not stopped at the store, would that change the domain or the range? circle one.

domain range both neither
problems 6 - 7 here is the graph of ( g(r) ).

  1. write a compound inequality to describe the domain.
  2. write a compound inequality to describe the range.

Explanation:

Problem 1

Step1: Domain definition

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x - values for \(y = f(x)\)). Looking at the graph, the left - most \(x\) - value is \(x=-1.5\) and the right - most \(x\) - value is \(x = 2\).

Brief Explanations

Thiago likely confused the \(x\) and \(y\) values. The domain is about \(x\) - values. The point \((-1.5,-4.375)\) has an \(x=-1.5\) (domain value) and \(y =-4.375\) (range value), and the point \((2,3.5)\) has \(x = 2\) (domain value) and \(y=3.5\) (range value). He might have taken the \(y\) - values of the endpoints as part of the domain.

Step1: Domain concept

The domain of a function \(y = d(t)\) is the set of all possible values of the independent variable. Here, the independent variable is \(t\) (time). Looking at the graph of \(d(t)\), the \(t\) - values start at \(t = 0\) and end at \(t=2.1\).
