The domain and the range of the function is (d) D: {x ∊ ℝ | x ≠ -1}; R: {y ∊ ℝ | y ≠ 6}
What are the domain and range of the function f(x) = x^2 + 8x + 7/x + 1
We have the function to be
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 8x + 7}{x + 1}[/tex]
Set the denominator to 0
x + 1 = 0
Solve for x
x = -1
This means that the domain of the function is the set of all real numbers except -1
Hence, the domain of the function is {x ∊ ℝ | x ≠ -1}
We have the function to be
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 8x + 7}{x + 1}[/tex]
Factorize the numerator
[tex]f(x) = \frac{(x + 1)(x + 7)}{x + 1}[/tex]
Simplify
f(x) = x + 7
The function is undefined at x= -1.
So, we have:
f(-1) = -1 + 7
f(-1) = 6
This means that the range of the function is the set of all real numbers except 6
Hence, the range of the function is {y ∊ ℝ | y ≠ 6}
