First we draw the graph of y = g(x) = x2+4Then we draw horizontal lines at y=20 and at y=53, and indicate (in green on the y-axis) the given range. Then we find the points of intersection of the two horizontal lines and g(x), by solving these two systems: and by substitution and factoring: The points of intersection are (-7,53), (-4,20), (4,20), (7,53) Since the range is , we erase the bottom of the graph that drops below y=20, and also the top of the graph that rises above y=53, for they are not part of g(x) with the given range: Now to find the domain, we draw lines from the endpoints of the graph down to the x-axis, shown below, and indicate (in green on the x-axis) the entire domain of g(x) The interval for the entire domain (in green on the x-axis) is However, the question only asks for the NEGATIVE part of the domain, so we only answer the left part of it, which is just this left part of the interval notation where x is negative: Edwin
