Answer

See graph Domain: $[0,\infty)$ Range: $[0,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt x$ We start with the basic function $a(x)=\sqrt x$. We vertically compress $a(x)$ by a factor of $\dfrac{1}{2}$ to get $g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt x$. We use 3 points: $(0,0),(4,1),(9,1.5)$ The domain of $g$ is: $D=[0,\infty)$ The range of $g$ is: $R=[0,\infty)$
