Domain: (-oo, +oo)(,+)
Range: [4,2][4,2]

Explanation:

f(x) = 3-cos2xf(x)=3cos2x

f(x)f(x) is defined forall x in RR

Hence, the domain of f(x) = (-oo, +oo)

Let theta =2x

:. f(x) = 3-costheta

The range of cos theta =+-1

:. the range of f(x) = [3+1, 3-1] = [4,2]

This can be see from the graph of f(x) below.
