The domain can be anything you like: a single element, all real numbers, all complex numbers, etc.
- 2 makes this zero and provides the vertical asymptote. So, from - infinity to - 2 and from - 2 to positive infinity
The range is the all the possible y-values for the function. f(x)=2-3x does not have any points where it is undefined because it is a linear function ( a line). The answer is all real numbers or (-infinity,infinity)
The domain is anything you want it to be. You could define the domain to be integer values only, or it could be {-3, -2.5, .2, 0, sqrt(7), 9}.
It depends on whether fx denotes frequency times variable value or the probability generating function for the variable x.
The graph of the function f(x) = 4, is the horizontal line to the x=axis, which passes through (0, 4). The domain of f is all real numbers, and the range is 4.
The domain can be anything you like: a single element, all real numbers, all complex numbers, etc.
Let S denote the sample space underlying a random experiment with elements s 2 S. A random variable, X, is defined as a function X(s) whose domain is S and whose range is a set of real numbers, i.e., X(s) 2 R1. Example A: Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. The sample space is S = fH; Tg. The function X(s) = ½ 1 if s = H ¡1 if s = T is a random variable whose domain is S and range is f¡1; 1g. Example B: Let the set of all real numbers between 0 and 1 be the sample space, S. The function X(s) = 2s ¡ 1 is a random variable whose domain is S and range is set of all real numbers between ¡1 and 1. A discrete random variable is one whose range is a countable set. The random variable defined in example A is a discrete randowm variable. A continuous random variable is one whose range is not a countable set. The random variable defined in Example B is a continiuos random varible. A mixed random variable contains aspects of both these types. For example, let the set of all real numbers between 0 and 1 be the sample space, S. The function X(s) = ½ 2s ¡ 1 if s 2 (0; 1 2 ) 1 if s 2 [ 1 2 ; 1) is a mixed random variable with domain S and range set that includes set of all real numbers between ¡1 and 0 and the number 1. Cummulative Distribution Function Given a random variable X, let us consider the event fX · xg where x is any real number. The probability of this event, i.e., Pr(X · x), is simply denoted by FX(x) : FX(x) = Pr(X(s) · x); x 2 R1: The function FX(x) is called the probability or cumulative distribution fuction (CDF). Note that this CDF is a function of both the outcomes of the random experiment as embodied in X(s) and the particular scalar variable x. The properties of CDF are as follows: ² Since FX(x) is a probability, its range is limited to the interval: 0 · FX(x) · 1. ² FX(x) is a non-decreasing function in x, i.e., x1 < x2 Ã! FX(x1) · FX(x2): 1 ² FX(¡1) = 0 and FX(1) = 1. ² For continuous random variables, the CDF fX(x) is a unifromly continuous function in x, i.e., lim x!xo FX(x) = FX(xo): ² For discrete random variables, the CDF is in general of the form: FX(x) = X xi2X(s) piu(x ¡ xi); x 2 R1; where the sequence pi is called the probability mass function and u(x) is the unit step function. Probability Distribution Function The derivative of the CDF FX(x), denoted as fX(x), is called the probability density function (PDF) of the random variable X, i.e. fX(x) = dF(x) dx ; x 2 R1: or, equivalently the CDF can be related to the PDF via: FX(x) = Z x ¡1 fX(u)du; x 2 R1: Note that area under the PDF curve is unity, i.e., Z 1 ¡1 fX(u)du = FX(1) ¡ FX(¡1) = 1 ¡ 0 = 1 In general the probability of a random variable X(s) taking values in the range x 2 [a; b] is given by: Pr(x 2 [a; b]) = Z b a fX(x)dx = FX(b) ¡ FX(a): For discrete random variables the PDF takes the general form: fX(x) = X xi2X(s) pi±(x ¡ xi): Specifically for continuous random variables: Pr(x = xo) = FX(x+ o ) ¡ FX(x¡o ) = 0: 2

Domain is the number of x values that can be used and not cause an imaginary result. Range is the number of the y values that result. In f(x)=2x-5 the range is all real numbers.
[fx] is a function of x, it usually used in graphs.
f(x) = 8x - 4x2 - 5x - 36 = -4x2 + 3x - 36 The domain for f(x) can be the whole of the Complex field or any subset.
All numbers less than or equal to 8
Depends on what Fx is.
- 2 makes this zero and provides the vertical asymptote. So, from - infinity to - 2 and from - 2 to positive infinity
The range is the all the possible y-values for the function. f(x)=2-3x does not have any points where it is undefined because it is a linear function ( a line). The answer is all real numbers or (-infinity,infinity)
OK, if you say so. That means that the range is all numbers greater than +1 .
