Domain Practice

This document provides examples and explanations for finding the domain and range of various functions. It contains 5 practice problems finding the domain and range of functions involving roots and fractions. Universal tips are provided for finding domains and ranges of functions with roots or fractions, such as setting what's inside roots to be greater than or equal to zero, and setting denominators or inverses equal to restricted values to determine the domain and range.

1.

Domain:
Why:
● there cannot be a negative number in a root, therefore x must be greater than or equal to 6 otherwise there
would be a negative number in the root
● you can solve this type of equation by setting the number inside the root greater than or equal to zero and
solving for x

Range:

Why:
● there cannot be a negative number in a root and therefore the value in the root must be either greater than or
equal to zero if there is no fraction in the root (because otherwise the root would be imaginary)
● therefore, the range will always be greater than or equal to zero if the inside does not have a fraction

2.

Domain:

Why:
● because there is a root, the fraction inside the root must be greater than or equal to zero
● however because x is the only thing on the bottom, x cannot equal zero because then the denominator
would be undefined
● therefore the function must be greater than (not equal to because then the function would be undefined)
zero for it to be defined

Range:

Why:
● because there is only a root in the function, and the root must always be greater than or equal to zero or else
it would be undefined, y would always be greater than or equal to zero in a root
● however, in this function, because there is no way for the function to equal zero (because if the
denominator is zero it is undefined) the function must be greater than (not equal to) zero

Domain:

Why:
● the bottom of a fraction can never be zero or else the fraction would be undefined
● therefore, in order to find the domain, you must find when the denominator is zero, and say that x cannot be
equal to that

Range:

Why:
● there are a couple ways to do this, the first is to take the ratio of the coefficients
○ since the coefficient of the x on top is one, and the coefficient of the x on bottom is 2, the ratio is
½ therefore, y cannot be ½
● there other way is to take the inverse, you do this by plugging in x for y and y for every x, look below for
the solution

Domain:

Why:
● the bottom of a fraction can never be zero or else the fraction would be undefined
● therefore, in order to find the domain, you must find when the denominator is zero, and say that x cannot be
equal to that

Range:

Why:
● there are a couple ways to do this, the first is to take the ratio of the coefficients
○ since the coefficient of the x on top is two, and the coefficient of the x on bottom is 7, the ratio is
2/7 therefore, y cannot be 2/7
● there other way is to take the inverse, you do this by plugging in x for y and y for every x, look below for
the solution

5.

Domain:

Why:
● because the function is a root, the function must always be greater than or equal to zero
● therefore, we must find when the stuff inside the function is greater than or equal to zero

Range:
Why:
● because the function is a root and does not have a fraction inside, the function must be greater than or equal
to zero

Universal tips for domain and range:

Domain:
1. to find the domain of a function with a ​root​, set what’s inside to be greater than or equal to zero and find
what x needs to be
2. to find the domain of a function with a ​fraction​, set the denominator equal to zero and see what x needs to
be for the denominator to be zero(makes the function undefined), this is the value that the function cannot
be in the denominator

Range:
1. to find the range of a function with a ​root​, know that the root must always be greater than equal to zero,
and if the bottom is simply x, then the bottom cannot be zero therefore the function must be greater than
zero
2. to find the range of a function with a ​fraction​, either use the ratio of the leading coefficients of the x terms,
or find the inverse of the function and find the domain of the inverse, and set this as the range
