Sorry, as an AI language model, I am not able to generate images. Can you please provide or upload the image of the graph mentioned in the question so that I can provide the domain and range?
To graph the function y = -1.5x^2, we can start with the vertex of the parabola, which is located at (0,0). From there, we can find additional points by substituting different values of x into the equation and calculating the corresponding y-values.
Let's calculate the y-values for a few x-values:
When x = -2, y = -1.5 * (-2)^2 = -1.5 * 4 = -6
When x = -1, y = -1.5 * (-1)^2 = -1.5 * 1 = -1.5
When x = 0, y = -1.5 * 0^2 = 0
When x = 1, y = -1.5 * 1^2 = -1.5 * 1 = -1.5
When x = 2, y = -1.5 * 2^2 = -1.5 * 4 = -6
Plotting these points on a graph, we get a downward-opening parabola centered at the origin:
A. graph: DOMAIN = (-∞, ∞), RANGE = (-∞, 0]
The correct answer is A.
