document.write( "The domain is (\"-infinity\", \"infinity\"), the set of all real numbers.\r\n" );

document.write( "To find it, you can complete the square:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"-x%5E2-10x\" = \"-%28x%5E2+%2B+10x%29\" = \"-%28%28x%2B5%29%5E2+-+25%29\" = \"-%28x%2B5%29%5E2\" + \"25\".\r\n" );

document.write( "The maximum is at x = -5, and it is equal to 25.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the range is (\"-infinity\", \"25\").\r\n" );
