14. Range Frame the top and bottom boundaries of each graph to help you find the possible y-values (the Range). x y Domain Frame the left and right boundaries of each graph to help you find the possible x-values (the Domain).

15. Work with your partner to find & record the Domain and Range of each card.

16. Domain: - 2  x  2 Range: - 3  y  3

17. Domain: - 3  x  1 Range: - 2  y  2

18. Domain: - 3  x   or x  - 3 Range: - 1  y   or y  - 1

19. Domain: - 2  x  4 Range: - 3  y  2
