The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown.


What is the domain of f(x)?

{x | 1 < x < 5}


{x | 1 < x < 5}


{y | −4 < y < 1}


{y | −4 < y < 1}

Answer:  [A]:  The domain is:
_________________________________
    {x | 1 ≤ x < 5}  .
________________________________________

Note:  The answer choices given for "A" and "B" are the same;  you meant to type:
_________________________
  [A]:   {x | 1 ≤ x < 5}  ;
_________________________
  [B]:   {x | 1 < x < 5} ;
__________________________
 I know this from the answer choices given in the "image/figure" you have attached.   Since:  " {x | 1 ≤ x < 5} "
__________________________________________      
   is the correct answer, I just need to remind you to be sure to know that the 
               "  ≤ " is the appropriate sign.

First of all, it asks for domain, which is allowed x values.

So immediately we can rule out last 2 answer choices.

If you look at the graph, the allowed x values are from 1 to 5.

Note: closed circle means that number is included and open circle means that number is NOT included

Now we see that 1 has closed circle so 1 is included and there is an open circle at 5, so 5 is NOT included.

Correct domain is {x | \(1\leq x<5\).


ANSWER: Domain is {x | \(1\leq x<5\)
