SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given Quadratic function


f(x)=-8(x+1)^2-8

STEP 2: Define the domain and range of a function

We know that the domain of a function is the set of input values for f, in which the function is real and defined. Also, the range of a function comprises the set of values of a dependent variable for which the given function is defined.

STEP 3: Find the domain and the range

Domain: The function has no undefined points nor domain restraints. Therefore, the domain is:


-\inftyRange: The maximum of the function is given as (-1,-8). Hence, the domain will be less than or equal to the vertex(maximum). This can be written as:[tex]f(x)\leq-8

Hence, the answers in interval notation will be given as:


\begin{gathered} Domain:(-\infty,\infty) \\ Range:(-\infty,-8] \end{gathered}
