what is the method(steps) for finding out the domain and range of a given function
The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.
In plain English, this definition means:
The domain is the set of all possible x-values which will make the function "work", and will output real y-values.
When finding the domain, remember:
In general, we determine the domain of each function by looking for those values of the independent variable (usually x) which we are allowed to use. (Usually we have to avoid 0 on the bottom of a fraction, or negative values under the square root sign).
RangeThe range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain.
In plain English, the definition means:
The range is the resulting y-values we get after substituting all the possible x-values.
