Lab 3

The document discusses domain and range of functions through graphs and examples. It contains two activities: 1) having students think about domain and range from graphs of standard functions and verifying using GeoGebra; and 2) identifying the domain and range of piecewise functions from examples and graphing one function. Tables show the domain and range for various functions derived from their graphs.

Domain and Range

Required concepts
Graph of a function, Domain and Range, Shifting of the
graph
Aim
Graph of a function can tell a lot of its properties such as domain, rage, maxima, minima,

increasing/decreasing etc. Having a knowledge about the relation of the graph with its domain

and range of some standard functions, students can explore it to more functions with the help

of shifting reflection and scaling of graphs. In Activity 1 students get an opportunity to think

about domain and range from graphs of functions and verify it using GeoGebra.

Activity 3 deals with piecewise defined functions, their domain and range.
