Answer

$f(x)=\begin{cases} -3,\ x\lt 0 \\ \sqrt x,\ x\ge 0\end{cases}$ domain $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range $\{-3\}U[0,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Identify the left line equation as $y=-3$ with $x\lt 0$. Step 2. Identify the right curve equation as $y=\sqrt x$ with $x\ge 0$. Step 3. Combine the above to get: $f(x)=\begin{cases} -3,\ x\lt 0 \\ \sqrt x,\ x\ge 0\end{cases}$ Step 4. Identify the domain as $(-\infty,\infty)$ and range as $\{-3\}U[0,\infty)$
