State the domain of y = x^2

OpenStudy (koikkara):

hey, you know: the domain is ALL REAL NUMBERS are from -INFINITY to + INFINITY.

OpenStudy (koikkara):

so, if u plot a graph....u my get parabola like open graph...from that you can find, .any number raised to the second power will always yield a positive integer or 0. Thus, y=x^2 won't have any negative y-values as the graph opens upward.

OpenStudy (koikkara):

may*

OpenStudy (abbycross167):

Really? so for every question that asks for the domain I would say "the domain is ALL REAL NUMBERS are from -INFINITY to + INFINITY". ?

OpenStudy (koikkara):

Negative values can be used for x, but the range is restricted because x2 ≥ 0. The correct answer is: The domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers f(x) such that f(x) ≥ 7.

I'm a little confused...
