Transcript text: What are the domain and range of this function?
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Domain
The domain of the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) is the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined. Since \( f(x) \) is a polynomial function, it is defined for all real numbers. Therefore, the domain can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Domain} = \mathbb{R}
\]
Step 2: Identify the Range
The range of the function \( f(x) = x^2 \) is the set of all possible output values that the function can produce. Since the output of \( f(x) \) is always non-negative (i.e., \( f(x) \geq 0 \) for all \( x \)), the range is:
\[
\text{Range} = [0, \infty)
\]
