Heyy, so this week wasn't so bad for me. I seem to understand domain and range when it comes to the domain of all polynomials. All you do for the range is use x= -b/2a which gives you your point.
The fractions are pretty easy to deal with. Just set the denominator = 0. Solve for X. Then set up intervals.
The number behind the absolute value tells you where to shift. For example: /x+4/-1. The negative 1 means that you are going to shift down 1. Your range is going to be the number outside the absolute value,00. such as [-1,00)
*** You use a bracket when you have a square root or absolute value.
I could use some help with the square roots. On the homework page 122 #12 a,b,&c are giving me trouble. if anyone finished the homework and knows how to do this problem please show me how you did it! Thaanks so much.

When you are finding the domain of square roots,
ReplyDelete1. place what is UNDER the radical =0
2. solve for x
3. set up a number line
4. inter values from both sides of your x-value(s)
5. eleminate any -ve answers and the side of your x-value from which they originated.
6. set up intervals
**if a number on the -ve side of your number is eleminated so is -∞. And vice versa with the +ve side. If one side is eleminated, say -∞ side, your intervals would be (-x,x)u(x, +∞).
