Given function contains a square root. We must exclude all values of xx that give negative number in square root. In other words only positive\textbf{positive} numbers (or zero) may occur in square root

Find the domain:

16x4016x4x416x2 and x2\begin{align*} 16-x^4&\geq 0\\ 16&\geq x^4\\ x^4 &\leq 16\\\\ x \leq 2&\text{ and } x\geq -2 \end{align*}

Thus, domain in interval notation is:

Dg=[2,2]\mathcal D_g =[-2,2]

Square root function is increasing function, so to find its range we have to find minumum and maximum value of argument.

Minimum value is 0 when x=2x=-2 or x=2x=2 and maximum value is 1616 when x=0x=0. Both these points are included\textbf{included} in the range.

Thus, range of function is [0,16]=[0,4][\sqrt 0,\sqrt{16}]=[0,4].
