(i) $g(x) = 5 - x$

Find the domain and the range of the function $g$ defined below:

(i) g(x)=5−xg(x) = 5 - x

Given:

g(x)=5−xg(x) = 5 - x
  • Domain (DgD_g): Any real number can be substituted for xx:

    • g(0)=5−0=5g(0) = 5 - 0 = 5
    • g(2)=5−2=3g(2) = 5 - 2 = 3
    • g(−3)=5−(−3)=8g(-3) = 5 - (-3) = 8 No division by zero and no negative square roots:
    Dg=R=(−∞,∞)\boxed{D_g = \mathbb{R} = (-\infty, \infty)}
  • Range (RgR_g): Let y=5−x  ⟺  x=5−yy = 5 - x \iff x = 5 - y. Any real output can be obtained by choosing x=5−yx = 5 - y:

    • For y=10  ⟹  x=5−10=−5  ⟹  g(−5)=10y = 10 \implies x = 5 - 10 = -5 \implies g(-5) = 10
    • For y=0  ⟹  x=5−0=5  ⟹  g(5)=0y = 0 \implies x = 5 - 0 = 5 \implies g(5) = 0
    Rg=R=(−∞,∞)\boxed{R_g = \mathbb{R} = (-\infty, \infty)}
Dg=R,Rg=R\boxed{D_g = \mathbb{R}, \quad R_g = \mathbb{R}}
