Answer

See graph Domain: $[-3,3]$ Range: $[0,27]$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=(9-x^2)^{3/2}=\sqrt{(9-x^2)^3}$. Graph the function using the window [-4,4]X[0,30]. The domain of the function consists in the values of $x$ for which the function makes sense. The order of the radical being even, we have: $9-x^2\geq 0\Rightarrow x\in [-3,3]$. The domain is $D=[-3,3]$. The range is the set of values that the function can take. The minimum value of the function corresponds to $x=3$ and is 0 and the maximum corresponds to $x=0$: $f(0)=\sqrt{(9-0^2)^3}=\sqrt {3^6}=3^3=9$. The range is $R=[0,27]$.
