Answer: The domain of the function y = (x - 4)(x - 6) is all real numbers, since there are no restrictions on the values that x can take. The range of the function is also all real numbers.
To see why this is the case, we can rewrite the function in standard form by expanding the product: y = (x - 4)(x - 6) = x^2 - 10x + 24. This is a quadratic function with a positive leading coefficient, so its graph is a parabola that opens upwards. The vertex of the parabola is at x = -b/2a = 10/2 = 5, and y = (5 - 4)(5 - 6) = -1. Since the parabola opens upwards, it extends infinitely upwards from its minimum value at the vertex. Therefore, the range of the function is all real numbers greater than or equal to -1.
So, the domain of y = (x - 4)(x - 6) is all real numbers and its range is all real numbers greater than or equal to -1.
