What is the domain and range of %22F%28x%2Cy%29%22=+sqrt%2816-x%5E2-16y%5E2+%29.

That is the equation of a hemisphere in the four upper octants.  
Its domain is the set of points in or on the circle in the xy-plane 
with center at the origin and radius sqrt%2816%29 or 4, that is, 
the domain is this circular disk: 

{ %22%28x%2Cy%2C0%29%22%22%7C%22x%5E2%2By%5E2%3C=16}

The range is the set of z-values

{ z%22%7C%220%3C=z%3C=4} 

which can also be written in interval notation as 

%22%5B0%2C4%5D%22
