Step 3

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$[- \frac{3}{4}, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${x | x \geq - \frac{3}{4}}$

Step 4

The range is the set of all valid $y$ values. Use the graph to find the range.

Interval Notation:

$[0, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${y | y \geq 0}$

Step 5

Determine the domain and range.

Domain: $[- \frac{3}{4}, \infty), {x | x \geq - \frac{3}{4}}$

Range: $[0, \infty), {y | y \geq 0}$
