Domain domain and range Range

AI Thread Summary

To find the domain and range of a graph, start by considering all real numbers as potential values. Analyze the graph to identify any restrictions, such as vertical asymptotes or holes, which indicate values that cannot be included in the domain. For the range, observe the highest and lowest points on the graph, noting any horizontal asymptotes or limits. A specific example can clarify this process, such as determining the domain and range of a quadratic function, which typically includes all real numbers for the domain and a specific interval for the range based on the vertex. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately interpreting graphs in mathematics.

A specific example, attached to your best efforts, is probably the best way to proceed.

In general, a good place to start is to assume All Real Numbers and see what you can rule out.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
