How do you find the domain and range of #y = x^2 - 4#?
1 Answer
Domain =
Range =
Explanation:
This quadratic function does not have a domain restriction, therefore all values of x are possible. Domain can be written as
In order to find the range, you must find the y coordinate of the vertex. There are many ways to do that, but I prefer to start by finding the x value of the vertex before finding y.
Since this function doesn't have a
Every quadratic function has the shape of a parabola. Since
The range of the function is
Check out the graph of the function. If you have a doubt, you can always try sketching the graph.
