Domain and Range The domain is found by making the denominator equal to zero. It is what the restrictions are. Then, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x. The range is found by establishing the y-intercept of the graph In Interval Notation, the domain and range will be from (–∞, x) U (x, ∞) where x represents any holes or vertical asymptotes. 4.4: Rational Functions 2/23/2019 10:24 PM
Example 1 Using the graph of f(x) = 1/x as a guide, describe the transformation, graph each function, and determine the domain and range of g(x) = (1/x) – 3 in Interval Notation. If k = –3, translate 3 units down. 8.2: Graph Simple Rational Functions 2/23/2019 10:24 PM
Example 2 Using the graph of f(x) = 1/x as a guide, describe the transformation, graph each function, and determine the domain and range of g(x) = (1/(x + 2)) If h = –2, translate 2 units left. 8.2: Graph Simple Rational Functions 2/23/2019 10:24 PM
Example 3 Using the graph of f(x) = 1/x as a guide, describe the transformation, graph each function, and determine the domain and range of g(x) = (–4/(x + 2)) – 1 If k = –1, translate 1 units down. If h = 2, translate 2 units left. If a = –4, translate 2 units left. 8.2: Graph Simple Rational Functions 2/23/2019 10:24 PM
