Domain

Algebra 1 · Functions & Sequences

Definition

The domain is the set of all input values (x-values) for which a function is defined.

Examples

  • For {(1,2),(3,4)}, the domain is {1, 3}.
  • For y = x + 5, the domain is all real numbers.

Key rule

List the x-values; the domain is all allowed inputs.

Memory hook

Domain = the inputs, the x-values you feed in.
