To draw the step function \"\" follow the steps.

\

1. Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2. Plot the points on the coordinate plane.

\

3. Then sketch the graph, connecting the points with a smooth line.

\

\"graph

\

\"\"

\

Since x can be any real number, there is an infinite number of ordered pairs that can be graphed. All of them lie on the graph shown.

\

Notice that every real number is the x - coordinate of some point on the graph, so the domain is all real numbers.

\

But, only real numbers greater than or equal to 0 are y - coordinates of points on the graph. So the range is all nonnegative real numbers.\"\"

\

The domain of function \"\" is all real numbers and its range is all nonnegative real numbers, and its graph is
