The formula x + y = 180 can be used to find the degrees of supplementary angles, where x is the smaller angle. Find the domain and range of this solution

Domain : 0° < x <90°

Range: 90° < y < 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a function:

f(x) = y

the domain is the set of the possible values of x, and the range is the set of the possible values of y.

In this case we have:

x + y = 180°

such that x < y

Let's analyze the possible values of x.

The smallest possible value of x must be larger than 0°, as we are workin with suplementary angles.

Knowing this, we can find the maximum value for y:

0° + y = 180°

y = 180° is the maximum of the range.

Then we have:

0° < x

y < 180°

To find the other extreme, we can use the other relation:

x < y.

Then, we can impose that x = y (this value will not be either in the range nor the domain)

if x = y then:

x + y = x + x = 180

2*x = 180

x = 90°

This will be the maximum of the domain and the minimum of the range.

Then we have that the domain is:

0° < x <90°

And the range is:

90° < y < 180°.
