02 Domain and Range of Graphs

The document defines domain and range. The domain is the set of all first components (x-coordinates) in an ordered pair, while the range is the set of all second components (y-coordinates). It also introduces interval notation, which uses brackets or parentheses to write sets of numbers when listing all numbers individually is impossible. Some examples of domains and ranges using this notation are provided.
