GM Notes Week1

The document discusses domain and range of functions. It provides examples of how to determine the domain and range of relations given in graphical or equation form. Specifically, it explains that: 1) The domain is the set of all possible x-values in an equation or graph, while the range is the set of all possible y-values. 2) To find the domain and range of equations, you solve the equation for either y or x and determine what values the variables can take. 3) For a relation to be a function, each x-value must correspond to only one y-value; if multiple y-values exist for any x, it is not a function.
