Answer:

  • See below

Explanation:

Given function:


  • f(x) = √(2 - x - x ^ 2)

As any square root function, its range is all non-negative numbers:

  • f(x) ≥ 0 or f(x) ∈ [0, +∞)

The domain the x values when the expression under root is non-negative:

  • 2 - x - x² ≥ 0
  • x² + x - 2 ≤ 0
  • (x + 2)(x - 1) ≤ 0
  • - 2 ≤ x ≤ 1

or

  • x∈ [-2, 1]
