Sometimes an x makes no sense to be plugged into a function: We must steer clear of dividing by 0, or taking even roots of negative numbers. Chorus: Doh, Domain and Range, we need to understand- What can go in, what can come out are part of a function's plan! We won't deny there are values of y a function cannot put out- Like negatives from even roots or from absolutes, or 0 from a fraction with nonzero top. (Repeat chorus) And there's no doubt we must leave out values that can't happen: So we'll ignore a bowling score beyond 0 and 300! (Repeat chorus) |
