One last box:

THE RULE:  Triple the input, then subtract 5

input: -2  ->  rule: 3( ) - 5  ->  -11  ...  input: 40  ->  rule: 3( ) - 5  ->  115
 

What's the domain and range for this function?

                                  domain  =  all real numbers

=

( -infinity , infinity )

interval notation

range  =   ( -infinity , infinity )

 


TRY IT:

What's the domain and range for this function?

THE RULE:  Take the square root, then add 4

input  ->  rule: square root of the input + 4  ->  output
