Answer

Domain: $x \geq -7$ Range: $y \leq 0$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} f(x)=-4.5 \sqrt{x+7}. \end{equation} The radicand of an even radical function must be positive. This requires us to have $x+7\geq 0\implies x\geq -7$. Since the function is negative, we must have $y\leq 0$. Hence: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \text { Domain : } & x \geq -7\\ \text { Range : } & y \leq 0 \end{aligned} \end{equation}
