To determine the correct description of the graphed function, we need to analyze the possible options based on common types of functions.

  1. The domain of the function is the set of all non-negative real numbers and the range is the set of all real numbers.

    • This description may fit functions that only take non-negative input (like square root functions).
  2. The domain and range of the function are both the set of all real numbers.

    • This description generally corresponds to linear functions, polynomials of odd degree, etc.
  3. The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers and the range is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

    • This description usually fits non-negative functions like quadratics (e.g., \(y = x^2\)).
  4. The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers and the range is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

    • This describes functions that can take all real inputs but only produce non-negative outputs, like \( y = \sqrt{x} \).
  5. The domain and range of the function are both the set of all non-negative real numbers.

    • This describes functions like the square function that takes non-negative inputs and produces non-negative outputs.

Without seeing the actual graph, I recommend selecting the option that fits the characteristics of the function shown. If the function only outputs non-negative values, then the relevant options would be #3 or #5. If it accepts both positive and negative inputs and outputs non-negative values, it would likely be #4. If it covers all real numbers for both domain and range, then #2 is your choice.
