See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the example of an absolute value to answer

For example: f(x) = |x|

Plotting the function:

when we plot the graph, the features:

It has a V-shape

The graph of an absolute function lies above the x axis

Also, we see the lines spanning towards the negative and positive y axis are of the same size. Hence, the graph is symetric along the y axis

The domain (x values or the input) is all real numbers


\text{Domain =(-}\infty,\text{ }\infty)

The range (y values or the output) is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.

This is because, the y value starts from 0 then extends upward without ending.

real numbers ≥ 0


\text{Range = \lbrack{}0,}\infty)
