Lesson 1.

Domain and Range of

Functions
 Learning Competency

This lesson serves as an enrichment for the following

K-12 or MELC competency:
• Evaluates a function (M11GM-Ia-2).
 Objectives

At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to

do the following:
∙ Identify a function as being a linear, quadratic,
polynomial, rational, or radical.

∙ Find the domain and range of different types of

function.
 Objectives

At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to

do the following:
∙ Find the domain and range of a function
represented by its graph.
One mode of transportation
to visit various places in the
world is through an aircraft.
Because of the sky’s
vastness, it is challenging to
identify the location and
other aspects of the plane
once it has flown.
However, it is possible to determine the plane’s location
through the use of functions. By using distance as a
function of time travelled, it has become easier to
determine the location of a plane. We can also determine
the possible values of distance and time by analyzing the
domain and range of a function.
In this lesson, we will take a closer look on the domain
and range of a function.
 Essential Questions

∙ When do we say that a function is linear, quadratic,

polynomial, rational, or radical?

∙ How can you find the domain and range of a function?

Polynomial function
A function involving nonnegative integer powers of the
independent variable. The domain of a polynomial function is
the set of real numbers; while, the range of a polynomial
function whose degree is odd is the set of real numbers.

Rational function
A function that can be expressed as a ratio of two
polynomials. The domain of a rational function is the set of real
numbers except the zeros of its denominator.

Radical function
A function that contains radical expressions. The domain of a
radical function is the set of real numbers except those that
make the radicand of radicals with even index negative.

Solution:
For a square root function to be defined, the radicand
must be nonnegative (i.e. greater than or equal to zero).

● A polynomial function is a function involving

nonnegative integer powers of the independent variable.
The domain of a polynomial function is the set of real
numbers; while, the range of a polynomial function whose
degree is odd is the set of real numbers.
 Key Points

● A rational function is a function that can be expressed as

a ratio of two polynomials. The domain of a rational
function is the set of real numbers except the zeros of its
denominator.

● A radical function is a function that contains radical

expressions. The domain of a radical function is the set of
real numbers except those that make the radicand of
radicals with even index negative.
