(iv) $g(x) = |x - 5|$

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

(iv) g(x)=∣x−5∣g(x) = |x - 5|

Given:

g(x)=∣x−5∣g(x) = |x - 5|
  • Domain (DgD_g): Absolute value is defined for every real number:

    • g(5)=∣5−5∣=0g(5) = |5 - 5| = 0
    • g(0)=∣0−5∣=∣−5∣=5g(0) = |0 - 5| = |-5| = 5
    • g(−3)=∣−3−5∣=∣−8∣=8g(-3) = |-3 - 5| = |-8| = 8
    Dg=R=(−∞,∞)\boxed{D_g = \mathbb{R} = (-\infty, \infty)}
  • Range (RgR_g): The magnitude of a real number is always non-negative:

    ∣x−5∣≥0  ⟹  y≥0|x - 5| \ge 0 \implies y \ge 0
    • Minimum output is 00 at vertex x=5x = 5.
    • For y=4  ⟹  x=5±4  ⟹  g(9)=4y = 4 \implies x = 5 \pm 4 \implies g(9) = 4 and g(1)=4g(1) = 4.
    Rg=[0,∞)\boxed{R_g = [0, \infty)}
Dg=R,Rg=[0,∞)\boxed{D_g = \mathbb{R}, \quad R_g = [0, \infty)}

Discuss theoretical concepts, mathematical formulas, and architectural foundations.
