Find the range of the function

In summary, the conversation discusses the function f and its range, as well as composite functions and one-to-one relationships. The range of f is [2,infinity) and the composite function hg has a domain of (-infinity, 7/3) and a range of [3, infinity). Plotting hg(x) can help determine the correct range for part (2) and part (3) of the problem.

Homework Statement



The function f is defined by

f(x) = sqrt(7-3x) , x<=1

= 3x^2-4x+3 , x>1

(1) Find the range of f

(2) if g(x)=sqrt(7-3x) , h(x)=3x^2-4x+3 in the case where f is continuous , find the composite function hg and state its domain and range.

(3) Determine the largest set for the domain and the corresponding range such that hg is one to one.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



(1) Range=[2,infinity)

(2) hg(x)=24-9x-4sqrt(7-3x)

domain=(- inifinity , 7/3)

range = [3 , infinity)

(3) some hints on this.

You didn't get the correct range in part (2).

Try plotting hg(x). It'll help you see the answers for parts (2) and (3).

FAQ: Find the range of the function

What is the definition of range in a function?

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values that the function can produce. It is the collection of all values that the function can take on when the input is varied over its entire domain.

How do you find the range of a function?

To find the range of a function, you can graph the function and identify the highest and lowest points on the graph. The range will be the set of all output values between these two points. Alternatively, you can also plug in different input values and make a list of corresponding output values, then identify the highest and lowest values in the list to determine the range.

What is the difference between domain and range?

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values for the function, while the range is the set of all possible output values. In other words, the domain is the input and the range is the output of a function.

Can the range of a function be negative?

Yes, the range of a function can include negative values. It all depends on the function and its domain. Some functions have a range that only includes positive values, while others can have a range that includes both positive and negative values.

Why is it important to find the range of a function?

Finding the range of a function can help us understand the behavior of the function and its relationship between the input and output values. It can also help us determine whether the function is one-to-one or many-to-one, and can be useful in solving real-world problems involving the function.
