Answer

Domain: $\mathbb{R}$ Range: $\{1\}\cup (\mathbb{R}\setminus \mathbb{Q})$

Work Step by Step

Find the domain: $D_f=\{x|\text{x is rational or x is irrational}\}$ $D_f=\{x|x\in \mathbb{Q}\cup (\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q})\}$ $D_f=\{x|x\in \mathbb{R}\}$ $D_f=\mathbb{R}$ Find the range: $R_f=\{y=f(x)|x\in D_f\}$ $R_f=\{y|y=1\text{ if x is rational or } y=5x\text{ if x is irrational}\}$ $R_f=\{y|y=1\text{ or } y=5x\text{ is irrational}\}$ $R_f=\{1\}\cup (\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q})$
