Exploring Domain and Range with Interval Notation

The video tutorial by Mr. Maestas revisits the topic of domain and range using modern HD video quality. It covers the concepts of domain and range through graphical examples, including piecewise and rational functions. The tutorial explains how to determine domain and range using interval notation, highlighting the significance of open and closed circles on graphs. It also discusses asymptotes in rational functions and how they affect domain and range. The video aims to provide a clearer understanding of these mathematical concepts through visual examples.

Why did the instructor decide to redo the video on domain and range?

• The old video was too short.

• The old video was recorded on a small phone and had low visibility.

• The old video had poor audio quality.

• The old video had incorrect information.

What does an open circle on a graph indicate?

• The value is infinite.

• The value is zero.

• The value is not included in the graph.

• The value is included in the graph.

In interval notation, how is a value that is not included represented?

• With a bracket [ ]

• With a parenthesis ( )

• With a square bracket [ ]

• With a curly brace { }

What is the domain of the piecewise function graph discussed in the video?

• [-4, 4)

• (-4, 4)

• [-4, 4]

• (-4, 4]

How does the instructor suggest handling breaks in the graph when determining the range?

• Approximate the values.

• Ignore the breaks.

• Use a union symbol to combine intervals.

• Use a different graph.

What is the range of the piecewise function graph discussed in the video?

• [-4, -1) U (0, 5]

• (-4, -1) U [0, 5]

• [-4, -1] U (0, 5]

• (-4, -1] U [0, 5]

What is a vertical asymptote in the context of rational functions?

• A point where the graph intersects the x-axis.

• A point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

• A line the graph approaches but never touches vertically.

• A line the graph approaches but never touches horizontally.

How is negative infinity represented in interval notation?

• With a bracket [ ]

• With a parenthesis ( )

• With a square bracket [ ]

• With a curly brace { }

What is the domain of the rational function graph discussed in the video?

• (-∞, -1] U [-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1) U [-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1) U (-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1] U (-1, ∞)

What is the range of the rational function graph discussed in the video?

• (-∞, -1] U (-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1) U (-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1] U [-1, ∞)

• (-∞, -1) U [-1, ∞)
