Question : 29
Total: 36
Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by
f (x) = |x – 1|.
Solution:  
We have f (x) = |x – 1|
Here, f (x) is a modulus function and since modulus of a real number is uniquely defined on real positive number.
∴ The domain of f (x) is R.
We see that f (x) = |x – 1|
f (x) = {
x1ifx1
(x1)ifx<1
⇒ f (x) = {
x1ifx1
1xifx<1

From above, we observe that in both cases f (x) ≥ 0.
Hence, range of f (x) is [0, ∞).
