Answer:

Domain: [-5, 4]

Range: [-5, 0] U (2, 4]

Explanation:

The domain encompasses whatever the input (in this case, the horizontal values) can be and the range is what the output (in this case, the vertical values) can be.

As shown on the graph, all horizontal values including and between -5 and 4 are used on the graph. It does not matter that they are on two separate lines. Therefore, the domain is [-5, 4]. Note that the closed brackets signify that -5 and 4 are used

The y values used in the bottom line range from -5 to 0, and in the top one they range from 2 to 4 (not including the 2, as shown by the open circle). Therefore, the bottom range is [-5, 0] and the top range is (2, 4]. We can combine these to say the range is [-5, 0] U (2, 4]
