Answers:
domain: (−∞,∞)
range: [−9,∞)
=========================================
Explanation:
The graph extends forever to the left and right. This means any x value can be plugged into the function to get some y value output. The domain is the set of all real numbers in which we write (−∞,∞) when using interval notation. This is the interval from negative infinity to positive infinity. We exclude both endpoints as we cannot reach infinity.
The smallest y value possible is y = -9 as shown by the vertex point (1, -9) being the lowest point on the parabola. The range is the set of y values such that [tex]y \ge -9[/tex] so we say [−9,∞) in interval notation. This is the interval from -9 to infinity. The square bracket says to include -9 as part of the interval.
