To determine the correct description of the function \( y = 4\sqrt[3]{x - 2} \), we need to analyze its domain and range.

  1. Domain:

    • The function \( y = 4\sqrt[3]{x - 2} \) involves a cube root, which is defined for all real numbers. Therefore, there are no restrictions on \( x \). The domain is all real numbers, \( (-\infty, \infty) \).
  2. Range:

    • The cube root function can produce all real outputs as \( x \) varies across all real numbers. Therefore, the range is also all real numbers, \( (-\infty, \infty) \).

Based on this analysis, the correct response is:

The domain and range of the function are both the set of all real numbers.
