hi, im having trouble understandind what i have to do. ive tried reading over the text book even though ive only started chap1. i have no clue how to tackle this.the q is:
sketch the graph and state the range:
y=x+1; xE]2,infinty]
*note 1st bracket must be other way*
Do you know how to draw the line y = x + 1. Draw it in pencil.Quote:

From the point (2, 3) onwards, ink the line with a pen.
Rub out the pencil bit that's left.
The range is all the y values. Look at the graph. Do you see that $\displaystyle 3 \leq y < \infty$? That's the range.
thanks that made it so easy.
another q.
find for f(x)=3x^2+x-2
a. x:f(x)=0
thanks dw i worked it out myself
the question states sketch the graph with the following rule
g(x)= (x^2+5 x>0
5-x -3<x<0
8 x<-3
*note the bracket is for all 3 on the left side, one big bracket*
5-x is the eq and 8 is the next

According to the notation of the function there are gaps in the graph at x = -3, x = 0 because g(-3) and g(0) don't exist.
PS: If you have a new question start a new thread. Otherwise you risk that nobody will notice that you want some help.
