Step-by-step solution
2 stepsTo find the domain and range of the function :
Find the domain.
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values () for which the function is defined.
- The cube root function is defined for all real numbers . So, there are no restrictions from the cube root itself.
- The expression inside the cube root is a fraction . For a fraction to be defined, its denominator cannot be zero. Set the denominator equal to zero to find the excluded value:
So, cannot be equal to 2. The domain is all real numbers except 2. In interval notation, this is .
Find the range.
The range of a function is the set of all possible output values () that the function can produce.
Let .
To find the range, we solve for in terms of .
First, cube both sides of the equation:Multiply both sides by :
Distribute :
Move all terms with to one side and terms without to the other side:
Factor out :
Divide by to solve for :
For to be a real number, the denominator of this expression cannot be zero.
Set the denominator equal to zero to find the excluded value for :So, cannot be equal to 1.
The range is all real numbers except 1.
In interval notation, this is .The domain and range are:
