Solution
To determine the domain and range of a function, we would typically analyze its graph. However, since the graph is not provided, I can explain how to approach these questions.
1. Domain:
- The domain refers to all the possible values of (input values) for which the function is defined.
- If the graph is a continuous curve or line and does not have any breaks, jumps, or undefined points, the domain is typically all real numbers or can be represented as a specific interval.
- If the graph has a restricted range of -values (e.g., it only exists between and ), the domain will be represented by a compound inequality like .
2. Range:
- The range refers to all the possible values of (output values) for which the function has corresponding -values.
- If the graph covers all possible -values, the range will be all real numbers.
- If the graph has a restricted vertical range (e.g., the function's -values only lie between certain limits), the range would be a compound inequality.
Answer Choices Breakdown:
-
Part 1: Domain
- A: (This is a specific interval domain, meaning the function is only defined between and .)
- B: All real numbers (This means the function is defined for any -value.)
- C: The graph does not represent a function (This suggests the graph fails the vertical line test, which would make it not a function.)
-
Part 2: Range
- A: A specific inequality (This would represent a restricted vertical range, where the function only takes certain -values.)
- B: All real numbers (This means the function has no restrictions on its -values.)
- C: The graph does not represent a function (If the graph does not represent a function, we wouldn't discuss the range.)
Next Steps:
If you can provide a graph, I can give you more precise answers. If you're referring to a graph from a textbook or assignment, identifying whether the graph is continuous or has any breaks, and what the limits of the - and -values are, will help you select the correct options.
Do you have a graph you can share to clarify the domain and range? Or do you have any further questions on these topics?

Tip:
Always start by identifying if the graph has breaks, jumps, or other discontinuities, as these will affect the domain and range.
