Question

Determine the domain and range of the piece wise function. Then write an equation for the function. The domain of the function is [_,_].The range of the function is (_,_).What is the equation of the function?

Answer 1

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(-10,2) \\ (x2,y2)=(-2,10) \\ m=(10-2)/(-2-(-10))=(8)/(8)=1 \end{gathered}`

so:

`\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-2=1(x-(-10)) \\ y-2=1(x+10) \\ y-2=x+10 \\ y=x+12 \end{gathered}`

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(0,-6) \\ (x2,y2)=(5,4) \\ m=(4-(-6))/(5-0)=(10)/(5) \\ m=2 \end{gathered}`

so:

`\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-(-6)=2(x-0) \\ y+6=2x \\ y=2x-6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the function is:

The range of the function is:
