Lawrence's blog

We went all the way back to chapter 4. it is a review from algebra 2 last year. i found section 1 to be kinda easy but im still working on trying to get better at. section 1 deals with finding the domain and range. there are four ways to do this.

1. Polynomial- they have no variable in denominator

the domain will always be (-infinity, infinity)
the range will always be (-infinity, infinity) if the degree of the polynomial is odd otherwise you will not have a range.



2. Square roots-

domain-you have to set equal to zero and solve for x.
then you put it on a number line
and plug in the numbers
range- use a [vertical shift, infinity)



3. Fractions

Domain- set the bottom equal to zero and solve for x
then set up intervals
Range- take limits x(infinity)



4. Absolute value

Domain: (-infinity, infinity)
Range: ( zero, infinity)

example:3x3+4x2-7x

domain: ( -infinity, infinity)
range: (-infinity, infinity)

i hope this helped some of yall better understand this chapter and section. if you need help just ask me. i get this chapter for the most part.
