Answer

$\text{ NOT a function }\\\text{Domain: } [-4,4] \\\text{Range: } [-3,3]$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To determine if the given graph is a function, use the Vertical Line Test. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ A vertical line drawn at $x=0$ will intersect the given graph in more than $1$ point. By the Vertical Line Test, the given is NOT a function. The domain is the set of all $x$-values, while the range is the set of all $y$-values. Hence, the given set of points has the following characteristics: \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \text{ NOT a function }\\\text{Domain: } [-4,4] \\\text{Range: } [-3,3] .\end{array}
