Domain

The domain of a function is the complete set of all input values (objects) that can be substituted into the function. For f(x)=xf(x)=\sqrt{x} the domain is x0x\ge 0, because negative numbers have no real square root.

Choosing a valid domain keeps every output well defined.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Domain in the Functions chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Domain means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Domain (EN) · Domain (BM) · 定义域 (中文)
