Hi there.
thanks for posting your question to Brainmass.

Domain is the set of x values for which the function is defined.
In this function, any value of x will evaluate to a number. Thus the domain of the function is all the real numbers.

As for the range - this is the set of values y can get.
The function is a parbola. Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative, this function is concave down and has a maxima (The minimal value is minus infinity, just plug in x=infinity or x=-infinity and you'll see).

To calculate the maxima, we take the first derivative ...

  • Graphing Parent functions

    Solution Step 1: Identify the domain and range of the function. Domain = R, that is, (-∞,∞). Range = (-∞,∞). So the graph exists for all values of x and y. Step 2: Find the intercepts. For x-intercept, put y = 0. 0 = x3.
