Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of a function is simply the span of x-values the graph will encompass.
And the range of a function is simply the span of y-values the graph will encompass.
Since the function is a quadratic, the domain is all real numbers. From the graph, the graph will continue to expand left and right. Therefore, the domain is all real numbers.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,\infty)[/tex]
And in set notation, this is:
[tex]\{x|x\in\mathbb{R}\}[/tex]
For the range, notice that the graph is going downwards. In other words, the graph has a maximum value. From the graph, we can see that this maximum value is at y=-4. The graph never reaches any value above -4. Therefore, our range is all numbers equal to or less than -4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,-4][/tex]
We use brackets because we include the -4 in the solution set.
Also, note that we write the infinity first because the smallest number should be on the left. [-4, -∞) would not be correct.
And in set notation, this is:
[tex]\{y|y\in\mathbb{R},y\leq 4}\}[/tex]
