(a) f : R  R, f  x   x 2  2 x  1 The co-domain is given as R.
As the parabola depicted has a minimum

The domain is given as (1,).
The co-domain is given as R.
As the graph depicted rises steeply as x
gets smaller and closer to 1. As the
x-values get large the graph approaches
the x-axis. Therefore the range is (0, )
