Looking at Graph 9, I can see it's a piecewise linear graph with both open and closed circles.
The graph has:
- A solid point at (-5, 1)
- An open circle at (-3, -2)
- A solid point at (0, -1)
- An open circle at (2, 1)
The domain is the set of all x-values from -5 to 2, but since there are open circles at x = -3 and x = 2, we exclude those points: [-5, -3) ∪ (-3, 2)
The range is the set of all y-values from -2 to 1: [-2, 1]
To determine if this is a function, I apply the vertical line test. For any x-value in the domain, there is only one corresponding y-value. The open circles at (-3, -2) and (2, 1) mean those points are not included, but for every other x-value in the domain, there's exactly one y-value. So this graph passes the vertical line test and is a function.
Since the graph consists of connected line segments, it is continuous.
Now I'll summarize all the answers:
