Answer:

Domain exists on all real values and it is expressed according to the notation:

(-∞, ∞)

Explanation:

The domain of a function is the values of the input variables x that will make the function exist.

Given the function f(x)=-16x^2+400

Since the variable x is a perfect square, this means that the function f(x) will exists for all values of x. The domain is expressed as:

(-∞, ∞)
