\
Step 1:
\The function is .
(i)
\Find the domain of the function.
\Domain of the function is values of for which the function is mathematically correct.
The function is a second degree polynomial.
\Therefore, domain of the function is set of all values of .
Domain of the function is .
(ii)
\Find the range of the function.
\Range of function is corresponding values of the function for different values of .
Range of the function is .
Step 2:
\(iii)
\Find the intercepts of the function.
Substitute in the function.
has no real solutions, hence there are no
-intercepts.
(iv)
\\
Find the intercepts of the function.
Substitute in the function.
Therefore, intercept is
.
Solution:
\(i) Domain of the function is .
(ii) Range of the function is .
(iii) No -intercepts.
(iv) -intercept is
.
