Answer

Domain: $(-∞, ∞)$ Range: $(-∞, 1]$

Work Step by Step

Function: $f(x)= -abs(x+1)+1$ There are no fractions in this function, so all real numbers are the domain. The vertex of the graph is at $(-1,1)$. $f(x)= -abs(x+1)+1$ $f(-1) =-abs(-1+1)+1$ $f(-1) = -abs (0) +1$ $f(-1) = -0+1$ $f(-1) = 1$ Since this is the vertex, we know that all possible $y$ values of the function are either greater than or less than $1$. Since the graph opens down, we know that the vertex is the maximum value for $y$.
