Struggling to get this figured out.

What is the process? I know the answer to the question but I don’t know the HOW

Where do you start

Something that I usually do is that I:

#
  1. Look at the type of function that I'm dealing with. Depending on whether or not x can be negative or a specific value or depending on the exists of asymptotes, my answers are gonna change.
#
  1. I look for possible restrictions. It is directly linked to 1) but it is more applied. I look if there is a possible division by 0 somewhere, if the x-value is negative why it shouldn't, etc.
#
  1. I look for horizontal and vertical translations. If you have a basic idea of how your general function works without transformation, you can just use the mapping rule on the domain and range:
#

(e.g.: sqrt(x), D: (0, +∞), R: (0, +∞))

#

(sqrt(x+1) : (0-1, +∞-1) = (-1, +∞))
