GeoGebra
You can use GeoGebra
to find the domain and range of a function.
GeoGebra
Instruction 1
- 1.
- Open
Algebra View
andGraphics View
underView
inMenu
. - 2.
- Input your function into
Algebra View
. - 3.
- Now you’re going to find the domain. Select the
Intersect
tool. Click your function, then the -axis. Depending on what’s given in the exercise, choose the appropriate lower and upper endpoints of the domain from the intersections with the -axis.
- 4.
- Now for the range, use the
Min
command by typingMin(<Function>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value>)
in
Algebra View
.Enter the name of your function (, , ) in
<Function>
. For<Start>
, enter the lower endpoint of the domain. For<End>
, enter the upper endpoint of the domain.Do the same as above with the command
Max(<Function>, <Start x-Value>, <End x-Value>)
in
Algebra View
.If your domain is a union of several intervals, repeat these two commands for all the intervals.
The lower endpoint of the range is the -value of the lowest point on the graph within the domain.
The upper endpoint of the range is the -value of the highest point on the graph within the domain.
