Q: In the context of functions, what does the term 'domain' refer to?
Solution: The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand that a function takes input values (often called x-values).
Step 2: Recognize that not all x-values can be used in every function.
Step 3: The domain is the collection of all x-values that you can use without causing problems (like dividing by zero or taking the square root of a negative number).
Step 4: So, the domain tells you which inputs are allowed for the function.
