To determine the domain and range of a function from a graph, we look at the values of \(x\) (horizontal values) and \(y\) (vertical values).
- Domain refers to all the possible values of \(x\) for which the function is defined.
- Range refers to all the possible values of \(y\) that the function can take.
Based on the options given, here are the interpretations for each:
-
Domain: −8≤y≤−2; Range: −2≤x≤2
- This option is incorrect because the domain deals with \(x\) values and range deals with \(y\) values.
-
Domain: −8≤x≤−2; Range: −2≤y≤2
- This option appears correct if the graph defined within \(x\) values from \(-8\) to \(-2\) and \(y\) values from \(-2\) to \(2\).
-
Domain: All Real Numbers, Range: All Real Numbers
- This option is incorrect unless the graph extends indefinitely in both directions on the coordinate plane, which is usually rare.
-
Domain: x≥-8; Range: y≤-2
- This option indicates that the \(x\) values start at \(-8\) and go infinitely to the right (greater than or equal to \(-8\)) and the \(y\) values are all values less than or equal to \(-2\). This might be correct if the graph has that kind of behavior.
Without a specific graph reference, I recommend selecting the option that matches the behavior of the graph you're analyzing. If the graph is confined between the \(x\) values of \(-8\) and \(-2\) with corresponding \(y\) values from \(-2\) to \(2\), then the second option is the correct choice. If the graph suggests otherwise, you'd need to select according to the presented characteristics of the function.
