#{yinRR|0<=y<=2}#

Explanation:

I find it is most helpful to solve the domain over which the function exists.

In this case #4-x^2>=0# which means #-2<=x<=2#

On this domain, the smallest value the function can take is zero and the largest value it can take is #sqrt(4)=2#

Hence, the the range of the function is #{yinRR|0<=y<=2}#

Hope this helps :)
