What is the domain and range of f(x) = -x/2f(x)=x2?

x in RR and f(x) in RR
OR
x in (-oo,+oo) and f(x) in (-oo,+oo)

Explanation:

The domain is the set of all possible x-values which will make the function "work", and will output real f(x)-values.

So when we have the function f(x)=-x/2 we can let x be any real number and we will always get a real and defined value of f(x).
Therefore the domain is RR.

The range is the resulting f(x)-values we get after substituting all the possible x-values.

Here too, all the possible values of f(x) are all the real numbers.
Therefore the range is also RR.

Example -->

Let x=sqrt2 which is a real number.
then we'd get f(x)=-sqrt2/2 which is also a real number.
