Answer

Domain: $x\geq 5$ Range: $y\leq 0$

Work Step by Step

The graph of the function begins at $x= 5$ and continues for positive values of $x$ only, therefore $x\geq 5$. The function's values start from zero and take on negative values for higher values of $x$, so $y\leq 0$. Hence, the domain and range of the function are give by: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \textbf{Domain :}\quad & x\geq 5\\ \textbf{Range :}\quad & y\leq 0\\\\ \end{aligned} \end{equation}
