Looking at the graph, notice how both the x-values and y-values are restricted. In other words, we cannot plug in x=10 (as it does not fall on the curve). So we can only plug in x-values from -4 to 4. So the domain is -4%3C=x%3C=4


which in set-builder notation is




In plain English, this reads: x is the set of all real numbers that are in between -4 and 4




Also, in interval notation, the domain is:

[-4,4]



-------------------------------

This also applies to the range. The range is also -4%3C=y%3C=4.



Which in set-builder notation is




In plain English, this reads: y is the set of all real numbers that are in between -4 and 4




Also, in interval notation, the range is:

[-4,4]




--------------------------

Summary:

So the domain and range are both [-4,4]
