Since any number can be used as input to the sin function, the domain of g is all real numbers.

The range, however, is a little more difficult, partly because I am not sure if that is sin(2x) (or sin%5E2%28x%29). No matter which one it is, the maximum value for it is 1. That makes 3 times that value a 3. And since g then subtracts 1, the maximum value for g is 2.

The minimum value for sin(2x) is -1. 3 times that would be -3. Subtracting 1 we get -4. So the minimum value for g, if it has sin(2x), is -4.

The minimum value for sin%5E2%28x%29 is 0. 3 times that would be 0. Subtracting 1 we get -1. So the minimum value for g, if it has sin%5E2%28x%29, is -1.

This makes the range of g: All real numbers between (correct minimum value) through 2, inclusive (meaning the minimum and maximum values are included in the range).
