The domain of the piecewise function is (−∞, ∞).

What is the domain of the function?

The domain is the set of possible inputs of a function, to identify the domain we need to look at the horizontal axis of the graph, and see over which interval is the function graphed.

Here we can see a piecewise function, it has 3 segments, which are on the intervals:

x ≤ -2

-2 < x < 2

x ≥ 2

So it is graphed over all the real numbers, then the domain is the last option (−∞, ∞).
