Graph each function. State the domain and range.
$f (x) = {\begin{cases} x 鈭� 2 if x < 1 \\ 3 x if x 鈮� 1 \end{cases}}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The domain is all real numbers and the range is

${y : y 鈮� 3 or y < 鈭� 1}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. State the concept for the given function.

This is a piece-wise defined function. Check for different values in the domain and include the values for which the function changes :

$y = f (x) = \{\begin{matrix} x 鈭� 2; x < 1 \\ 3 x; x 鈮� 1 \end{matrix}\}$

Step 2. Make a table for the given function.

Construct a table for $f (x)$ by taking some values of $x$ .

$x$	$x 鈮� 1$	$x < 1$	$y = f (x) = \{\begin{matrix} x 鈭� 2; x < 1 \\ 3 x; x 鈮� 1 \end{matrix}\}$
$- 1$	No	Yes	$- 3$
0	No	Yes	$- 2$
1	Yes	No	3
2	Yes	No	6
3	Yes	No	9

Step 3. Plot the graph.

Plot the values of $x$ and $f (x)$ on a graph,

The $x$ -coordinate values specify the domain of the function. Since the graph covers all possible values of $x$ , the domain is all real numbers.

The $y$ -coordiante values specify the range of the function. Since, the graph does not take any value less than $y = 3$ and more than or equal to $y = 鈭� 1$ , the range is ${y : y 鈮� 3 or y < 鈭� 1}$ .
