the domain is the interval or set of all valid values for x (the input variable).

the range is the interval or set of all valid values for y or f(x) (the function result variable).

the functional result values for the first piece :

x - 4 for 0 <= x < 2

for x = 0 we get y = -4

for x = 2 we get y = -2

the range for this piece is [‐4, -2).

we use the round bracket to indicate -2 itself is not included, as we have x < 2 (and not x <= 2).

the functional result values for the second piece :

x² - 3x + 4 for 2 <= x < 4

for x = 2 we get 4-6+4 = 2

for x = 4 we get 16-12+4 = 8

the range for this piece is [2, 8)

again, because of x < 4 we use the ")" for 8 (not included).

the functional result values for the third piece :

5 for 4 <= x < 7

the range is simply [5) = [5] because the set contains only one element.

and 5 is already contained in the range of the second piece.

so, the range is just the combination of the ranges of the first 2 pieces :

[-4, -2) U [2, 8)

A is the answer because the graphing and if you put that into graph and measure points and look at function
