Step-by-step explanation:
This will look complex to you, but I will explain it the best way I know how:
So, to find the range of the graph, you first need to plug in each x-value given in the inequality into the expressions right up against them, and you will get your y-value. Once both y-values are defined, you will then set them up as Set-Builder and\or Interval Notations, depending on the type of piecewise graph given to you [whether closed or opened circle].
** However, if both values are identical, then the function is considered "infinitive", but you still need to write the intervals in Set-Builder and\or Interval Notation, depending on the inequality given. On the graph, this will be one full, solid circle, but we know that there are parts of the graph where a certain interval is not included, so BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL with exercises like these [see exercise 2].
Now, the domain will be the inequalities given to you because as you can see, each exercise has the EXACT SAME x-value and unique inequalities, so just take what is there and write the intervals in Set-Builder and\or Interval Notation.
Well, I hope this helps you out alot, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at anytime.

1. Answer: Domain: x = All Real Numbers (-∞, ∞)
Range: y = All Real Numbers (-∞, 7]
Graph: see attachment 1
1. Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: When graphing a piecewise function, think of it as sharing the graph with 2 lines. The length of the lines are restricted by the inequality provided.
[tex]f(x)=\begin{cases}\quad x\qquad \quad ; x\le -3\\-2x+1\quad ; x>-3\end{cases}[/tex]
Graph y = x → the line ENDS when x = -3 with a closed dot
Graph y = -2x+1 → the line STARTS when x = -3 with an open dot
There are no restrictions on x so the Domain is "All Real Numbers"
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, ∞)
Since both slopes are negative, there is a maximum value for y so the Range is: y < 7
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, 7)

2. Answer: Domain: x = All Real Numbers (-∞, ∞)
Range: y = All Real Numbers (-∞, ∞)
Graph: see attachment 2
2. Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{5}{2}x-1 \quad ; x< 2\\\\\ x+2\quad ; x\ge 2\end{cases}[/tex]
Graph [tex]y=\dfrac{5}{2}x-1[/tex] → the line ENDS when x = 2 with an open dot
Graph y = x+2 → the line STARTS when x = 2 with a closed dot
There are no restrictions on x so the Domain is "All Real Numbers"
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, ∞)
Since there is one slope positive and the other slope negative, there are no restrictions on y so the Range is: "All Real Numbers"
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, ∞)

3. Answer: Domain: x = All Real Numbers (-∞, ∞)
Range: y = All Real Numbers (-∞, 1/3]
Graph: see attachment 3
3. Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]f(x)=\begin{cases}-\dfrac{1}{3}x \qquad ; x\ge -1\\\\\ 2x-6\quad ; x< -1\end{cases}[/tex]
Graph [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x[/tex] → the line STARTS when x = -1 with an open dot
Graph y = x+2 → the line ENDS when x = -1 with a closed dot
There are no restrictions on x so the Domain is "All Real Numbers"
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, ∞)
Since both slopes are negative, there is a maximum value for y so the Range is: y ≤ 1/3
In interval notation, it is written as: (-∞, 1/3]
