Answer:

Domain:
(-\infty, 1]

Range:
(-\infty, 3]

Explanation:

The domain of a function represents the range of x-values that are part of the function, read left to right. We can see that the function goes forever to the left and stops at
x=1 when we read left to right. Therefore, the domain of this function is
\boxed{(-\infty, 1]}.

The point at
x=1 is a filled-in solid dot so it is included as part of the function. Use square brackets to denote inclusive.

The range of a function represents all y-values that are part of the function, read bottom to top. The function continues down forever and stops at
y=3 when read bottom to top. Therefore, the range of this function is
\boxed{(-\infty, 3]}. Similar to the domain, we use a square bracket on the right to indicate that
y=3 is included in the function. If the dot was not filled-in, then we would use a parenthesis to indicate that
y=3 would not be part of the function.
