Find the domain and range of the following real functions:
Domain: ; Range: .
The modulus function is defined for all real numbers, and . Therefore, , so the range consists of all non-positive real numbers.
.
Domain: ; Range: .
For to be real, we require , i.e., , which gives . The maximum value of is (at ) and the minimum is (at ). Since the function is continuous, it takes all values between and .
Explanation
Part (i) uses the definition of modulus function from the context: is defined for all and yields non-negative values. Multiplying by flips the sign, giving non-positive outputs. Part (ii) requires the radicand to be non-negative for the square root to be a real number, leading to . The range follows from the fact that decreases from to as increases from to .
