Find the domain of the following graph:
−7 < x ≤9
−7 < y ≤ 9
−7 < x ≤5
−7 < y ≤ 5

Answer:
[tex]-7<x\leq 9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain is the set of all x-values. We can find the domain by finding the left boundary of the graph (the furthest left x-value) and then the right boundary (the furthest right x value).
The furthest left x-value is -7. Notice it has a large open circle here that is not filled in. This means the function does not include -7 but includes numbers very close to it like-6.999999..... We sue use an inequality sign without an equal to to write -7. x >-7.
The furthest right x value is 9. It has a closed circle or "filled in" circle so we write with an equal to sign. [tex]x\leq 9[/tex].
We combine the two into [tex]-7<x\leq 9[/tex].
