Step-by-step solution
4 stepsDetermine the domain of the function.
The function is defined in two parts:
- for . This covers all non-positive real numbers.
- for . This covers all positive real numbers. Together, these two conditions cover all real numbers. Therefore, the domain of is , which is denoted by .
Determine the range of the function for .
For , .
This is a parabola opening downwards with its vertex at .
When , .
As decreases from 0 (e.g., ), increases, so decreases.
For example, , .
Thus, for , the range of is .Determine the range of the function for .
For , .
This is a linear function with a positive slope.
As approaches 0 from the right, approaches . Since , the value 1 is not included in this part's range.
As increases from 0, increases.
For example, , .
Thus, for , the range of is .Combine the ranges from both parts.
The range of is the union of the ranges from Step 2 and Step 3:
Range .
This union covers all real numbers.
Therefore, the range of is , which is denoted by .The domain is and the range is .
Comparing this with the given options, option A states "R and R".The final answer is
