Answer

a. $[-1,\infty)$ b. $[0,\infty)$ c. $x=-1$ d. $y=1$ e. $f(3)=2$

Work Step by Step

a. the function’s domain is defined by all possible $x$ values, and we can identify the domain as $[-1,\infty)$ b. the function’s range is defined by all possible $y$ values, and we can identify the range as $[0,\infty)$ c. the x-intercepts can be found at positions where the curve cross the x-axis, and the x-intercept is $x=-1$ d. the y-intercept can be found at positions where the curve cross the y-axis; we have the y-intercept as $y=1$ e. from the graph of the function, we can identify $f(3)=2$
