The square root function is a function which increases over its entire domain (ie going from left to right, the y values increase)


So the smallest possible value in the range will result when you plug in x = -3 (the smallest value in the domain)

So plug in x = -3,
















So when x = -3, y = 0. So the smallest value in the range is 0.

------------------------------------
Similarly, the largest value in the range will result from the largest value in the domain, which is x = 1

So plug in x = 1,
















So when x = -3, . So the largest value in the range is

So the range is or


This means that the range in interval notation is
