Answer:

Explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of input (x-) values for which the function is defined. The range is the set of output (y-) values; often there are limitations.

For example, the sine function y = sin x is defined for all real x; for every input x, there is a corresponding output y. The sine function has a limited range in that the minimum value of the sine is -1 and the max is +1. There is no graph above y = -1 or below y = +1.
