A function has the equation  `f(x)=4-(x+1)^2`.

State the domain and range of `f(x)`.   (3 marks)

Show Answers Only

`text{Domain}\ f(x): \ text{all}\ x`

`text{Range}\ f(x): \ y<=4`

Show Worked Solution

`f(x)\ text{exists for all}\ x`

`text{Domain}\ f(x): \ text{all}\ x`
 

`text{Consider the function transformation:}`

`y=x^2\ text{translated 1 unit left}\ =>\ \ y=(x+1)^2`

`y=(x+1)^2\ text{reflected in the}\ xtext{-axis}\ =>\ \ y=-(x+1)^2`

`y=-(x+1)^2\ text{translated 4 units up}\ \ =>\ \ y=4-(x+1)^2`

`:.\ text{Range}\ f(x): \ y<=4`
