Describe the intervals of values shown in
[link] using inequality notation, set-builder notation, and interval notation.
To describe the values,
included in the intervals shown, we would say, “
is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, or a real number greater than 5.”
Inequality
Set-builder notation
Interval notation
Remember that, when writing or reading interval notation, using a square bracket means the boundary is included in the set. Using a parenthesis means the boundary is not included in the set.
Another way to identify the domain and range of functions is by using graphs. Because the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the
x -axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the
y -axis. Keep in mind that if the graph continues beyond the portion of the graph we can see, the domain and range may be greater than the visible values. See
[link] .
We can observe that the graph extends horizontally from
to the right without bound, so the domain is
The vertical extent of the graph is all range values
and below, so the range is
Note that the domain and range are always written from smaller to larger values, or from left to right for domain, and from the bottom of the graph to the top of the graph for range.
Finding domain and range from a graph
Find the domain and range of the function
whose graph is shown in
[link] .
We can observe that the horizontal extent of the graph is –3 to 1, so the domain of
is
The vertical extent of the graph is 0 to –4, so the range is

The input quantity along the horizontal axis is “years,” which we represent with the variable
for time. The output quantity is “thousands of barrels of oil per day,” which we represent with the variable
for barrels. The graph may continue to the left and right beyond what is viewed, but based on the portion of the graph that is visible, we can determine the domain as
and the range as approximately
In interval notation, the domain is [1973, 2008], and the range is about [180, 2010]. For the domain and the range, we approximate the smallest and largest values since they do not fall exactly on the grid lines.
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

how does the stomach protect itself from the damaging effects of HCl
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
