1. **Problem Statement:** Determine the domain and range of the given piecewise linear function with points and segments connecting (-10, -4) to (-5, -6), (-5, -6) to (0, 5), and (0, 5) to (4, 2). Represent both domain and range in set-builder and set-interval notation.
2. **Understanding Domain and Range:**
- The **domain** is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
- The **range** is the set of all possible output values (y-values) the function can take.
3. **Domain Analysis:**
- The function starts at x = -10 (filled point) and ends at x = 4 (open circle).
- Since the point at x = 4 is an open circle, x = 4 is not included in the domain.
- Therefore, the domain is all x such that $-10 \leq x < 4$.
4. **Range Analysis:**
- The y-values at the key points are: -4 at x = -10 (filled), -6 at x = -5 (open), 5 at x = 0 (filled), and 2 at x = 4 (open).
- The minimum y-value is -6 (open at x = -5), so y = -6 is not included.
- The maximum y-value is 5 (filled at x = 0), so y = 5 is included.
- The function covers all y-values between -6 and 5 because the segments connect these points continuously.
- Therefore, the range is all y such that $-6 < y \leq 5$.
5. **Set-Builder Notation:**
- Domain: $\{x \mid -10 \leq x < 4\}$
- Range: $\{y \mid -6 < y \leq 5\}$
6. **Set-Interval Notation:**
- Domain: $[-10, 4)$
- Range: $(-6, 5]$
**Final answer:**
- Domain:
- Set-builder: $\{x \mid -10 \leq x < 4\}$
- Interval: $[-10, 4)$
- Range:
- Set-builder: $\{y \mid -6 < y \leq 5\}$
- Interval: $(-6, 5]$
