The Range

Captions available

The idea

The range of a function is the set of all outputs the domain actually produces.

In practice

f(x) = x² takes in every real number but only puts out 0 and up: range [0, ∞). Squares are never negative.

Where people slip

The range is earned by the domain, never assumed.
