Domain: (-oo, +oo)(,+) Range: (-oo, 10](,10]

Explanation:

y=10-x^2y=10x2

yy is defined forall x in RR

:. the domain of y is (-oo, +oo)

y is a parabola with a maximum value where y' = 0

y' = -2x =0 -> x=0

y_max = y(0) = 10

y has no finite lower limit.

Hence, the range of y is (-oo, 10]

This can be inferred by the graph of y below:
