For a real function given only by its algebraic formula, the domain (unless stated otherwise) is the largest subset of R on which the formula is well-defined — found by excluding any x that makes a denominator zero, makes the expression under an even root negative, or makes the argument of a logarithm non-positive. The range is the actual set of output values the formula produces as x runs over the domain, found by al …
The modulus function f(x)=∣x∣ returns the non-negative distance of x from 0, so its output can never be negative, and every non-negative real value is achieved by some input. …
∣x∣≥0 for every real x, and every value y≥0 is achieved (e.g. by x=y), so the range is [0,∞).
The modulus function is defined as:
f(x)=∣x∣={x,−x,x≥0x<0

›Reveal solutionSolution
The minimum value of x2 over all reals is 0 (at x=0), so the minimum of f(x)=x2+3 is 3; f can take any value from 3 upward.
For f(x)=x2+3 with x∈R: since the square of any real number is never negative, x2≥0 for all x. Adding 3 to both sides, f(x)=x2+3≥3. The minimum value 3 is attained at x=0, and as ∣x∣ grows with …

- CBSE 2025Set sz1 markMCQQ.The domain of the function f:R→R given by f(x)=x2−4 is :(a) [0, 4](b) [-2, 2](c) (-2, 2)(d) (4, 0)
›Reveal solutionSolution
The literal stem f(x)=x2−4 has domain (−∞,−2]∪[2,∞), which is not one of the four choices — the choices match f(x)=4−x2 instead, so that is very likely the intended function, giving domain [−2,2].
Working the literal stem first, honestly: for f(x)=x2−4 to be real-valued we need the expression under the root to be non-negative:
x2−4≥0⟹x2≥4⟹x≤−2 or x≥2.
So the true domain of the function exactly as printed is (−∞,−2]∪[2,∞) — and none of options (a) [0,4], (b) [-2,2], (c) (-2,2), (d) (4,0) equal this set.

›Reveal solutionSolution
f(x)=∣x−1∣ can never be negative and attains every non-negative value, so its range is [0,∞).
For f:R→R, f(x)=∣x−1∣.
By definition, the absolute value ∣x−1∣≥0 for every real x, so f(x) can never be negative.

›Reveal solutionSolution
The expression under a square root must be non-negative, giving the domain [−3,3].
For f(x)=9−x2 to give a real value, the radicand must satisfy
9−x2≥0⟹x2≤9⟹−3≤x≤3. …

›Reveal solutionSolution
f(x) is undefined wherever the denominator 1 − x² = 0, so those points are excluded from the domain.
For f(x)=1/(1−x2) to be defined we need the denominator to be non-zero:
1−x2=0⇒x2=1⇒x=1 and x=−1
