Answer

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

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=-\sqrt x$ We start with the basic function $a(x)=\sqrt x$. We reflect $a(x)$ about the $x$-axis to get $f(x)=-\sqrt x$. We use 3 points: $(0,0),(1,-1),(4,-2)$ The domain of $f$ is: $D=[0,\infty)$ The range of $f$ is: $R=(-\infty,0]$
