1. The problem is to analyze the function $f(x) = |2x - 3|$ and determine its domain and range.
2. The domain ($D$) of an absolute value function is all real numbers because you can input any real number into $2x - 3$ and take its absolute value.
3. Therefore, the domain is:
$$D = (-\infty, \infty)$$
4. The range ($R$) of an absolute value function is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero because absolute value outputs are never negative.
5. To find the maximum or minimum values, note that $|2x - 3|$ is zero when $2x - 3 = 0$.
6. Solve for $x$:
$$2x - 3 = 0$$
$$2x = 3$$
$$x = \frac{3}{2}$$
7. At $x = \frac{3}{2}$, $f(x) = 0$, which is the minimum value.
8. Since the absolute value function opens upwards and has no maximum, the range is:
$$R = [0, \infty)$$
9. Note: The user mentioned $R = [-\infty, 5)$, which is incorrect for this function.
10. Summary:
- Domain: $(-\infty, \infty)$
- Range: $[0, \infty)$
