Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the function. Write your answer in interval notation.

Solution

Looking at the graph provided, we can analyze the domain and range of the function shown.

Domain

The domain refers to all possible xx-values for the function. The graph of this function extends indefinitely to the left and right along the xx-axis. Therefore, the domain is all real numbers:

Domain: (,)\text{Domain: } (-\infty, \infty)

Range

The range refers to all possible yy-values. This function appears to have a maximum point at y=4y = 4 (vertex of the parabola), and it opens downward. Hence, the range includes all yy-values from -\infty up to 4:

Range: (,4]\text{Range: } (-\infty, 4]

Tip: When finding the range of a parabola, always identify if it has a maximum or minimum value to know if the range extends up to or from that point.
