A function f from X to Y. The set of points in the red oval X is the domain of f. Graph of the real-valued square root function, f(x) = √ x, whose domain consists of all nonnegative real numbers. In mathematics, the domain of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function.
Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.
A partial function from X to Y is thus a ordinary function that has as its domain a subset of X called the domain of definition of the function. If the domain of definition equals X, one often says that the partial function is a total function.
A function f from X to Y.The blue oval Y is the codomain of f.The yellow oval inside Y is the image of f, and the red oval X is the domain of f.. In mathematics, a codomain or set of destination of a function is a set into which all of the output of the function is constrained to fall.
The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers. The image of this function is the singleton set {4}. The independent variable x does not appear on the right side of the function expression and so its value is "vacuously substituted"; namely y(0) = 4, y(−2.7) = 4, y(π) = 4, and so on.
The vertical line test, shown graphically. The abscissa shows the domain of the (to be tested) function. In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x.
In complex analysis, a complex domain (or simply domain) is any connected open subset of the complex plane C. For example, the entire complex plane is a domain, as is the open unit disk, the open upper half-plane, and so forth. Often, a complex domain serves as the domain of definition for a holomorphic function.
For example, as a function from the integers to the integers, the doubling function () = is not surjective because only the even integers are part of the image. However, a new function f ~ ( n ) = 2 n {\displaystyle {\tilde {f}}(n)=2n} whose domain is the integers and whose codomain is the even integers is surjective.
