Answer

$a.\quad \mathbb{R}$ $b.\quad (0,4)$ $c.\quad $see image $d.\quad \mathbb{R}\backslash\{0\}=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ $e.\quad $Not continuous (jump at x=0)

Work Step by Step

It's best to graph the function first. The graph is the line $y=3x$, with the point (0,0) excluded, and replaced with ($0,4$). (There is a jump at x=0) Domain: whole set $\mathbb{R}$ Range : $\mathbb{R}\backslash\{0\}=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$ There is no x-intercept. The y intercept is at ($0,4$)
