Answer:

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable. The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain.

Explanation:

When finding the domain, remember:

The denominator (bottom) of a fraction cannot be zero

The number under a square root sign must be positive in this section

The range is the resulting y-values we get after substituting all the possible x-values.
