Problem in finding functions Domain & Rage of a peacewise function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the domain and range of a piecewise function defined as f(x) = { x + 2, x ≤ 0; x^3, |x| < 1; -x + 3, x ≥ 1. The correct domain is established as (-∞, -1] ∪ (-1, 1) ∪ [1, ∞), which simplifies to (-∞, ∞). The range is identified as (-∞, 1] ∪ [2, ∞). Participants clarify typographical errors and confirm the correct values for the domain and range.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of piecewise functions
  • Knowledge of domain and range concepts
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation and inequalities
  • Basic algebra skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Study piecewise function examples in calculus
  • Learn about graphing piecewise functions
  • Explore the implications of domain and range in real-world applications
  • Investigate the use of LaTeX for mathematical expressions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, mathematics educators, and anyone interested in mastering piecewise functions and their properties.

Homework Statement



Find the domain and range:
{ x+2, x[tex]\leq[/tex]0
f(x) ={x3, |x|<1
{-x+3, x[tex]\geq[/tex]1


Homework Equations


domain = possible inputs
range = possible outputs


The Attempt at a Solution



domain of f(x) = (-[tex]\alpha[/tex], -1] [tex]\cup[/tex] (-1, 1) [tex]\cup[/tex] [1, [tex]\alpha[/tex])
=(-[tex]\alpha[/tex], [tex]\alpha[/tex])

range of f(x) = (-[tex]\alpha[/tex], 1] [tex]\cup[/tex] (-1, 1) [tex]\cup[/tex] [2, [tex]\alpha[/tex])
= (-[tex]\alpha[/tex], 1] [tex]\cup[/tex] [2, [tex]\alpha[/tex])

Are you sure that the part I bolded isn't -1?

domain of f(x) = (-[tex]\alpha[/tex], -1] [tex]\cup[/tex] (-1, 1) [tex]\cup[/tex] [1, [tex]\alpha[/tex])
=(-[tex]\alpha[/tex], [tex]\alpha[/tex])
Use "\infty" if you want to display ∞. It's also better to put entire expressions within the tex tags, instead of putting individual symbols within tex tags, like ths:
[tex]\begin{aligned}<br /> \text{domain of f(x) } &= (-\infty, -1] \cup (-1, 1) \cup [1, \infty) \\<br /> &= (-\infty, \infty)<br /> \end{aligned}[/tex]
(Click the expression above to see the code I typed.)

you are right that part would be -1 and i did a lot of typing mistakes, and now help me finding the range of this function!
