The correct answers are:

Question 1: C. The domain of the graph is all real numbers less than or equal to 0. ; and Question #2: C. The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

Explanation:

For Question #1:

We cannot use real numbers to take the square root of a negative number. This means if we are to have a real number value for this, we can only use values of x that are negative; this will make it the square root of a "negative negative," which makes it the square root of a positive. This means the domain, or list of all possible x values, would be real numbers less than or equal to 0.

For Question #2:

We can see in the graph that the domain, or set of x values, goes from 0 towards positive infinity. We can also see that the range, or set of y values, starts at 0 and decreases; this means that the range is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

(1). The correct option is $\boxed{\bf option C}$ .

(2). The correct option is $\boxed{\bf option C}$ .

Further explanation:

Concept used:

The domain of the function f(x) is the set of all -values for which the function f(x) exists as a real number and range is defined as all the corresponding values of f(x) for the values of in domain.

Calculation:

Part (1)

Th function is given as follows:

$f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$

In the given function a radical term is present and the argument is .

From the given function to be defined the argument should be always greater or equal to .

$\begin{aligned}-x\geq 0\\x\leq 0\end{aligned}$

From the above calculation it is concluded that the domain of given function is $(-\infty,0]$ .

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function $f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$ .

From figure 1 it is observed that the curve of the function $f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$ always the above -axis so, it can be said that the value of the function is always greater or equal to .

Therefore, the range of the function $f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$ is $[0,\infty)$ .

This implies that the correct option is $\boxed{\bf option C}$ .

Part (2)

The function is $f(x)=-\sqrt{x}$ .

In the given function a radical term is present and the argument is .

From the given function to be defined the argument should be always greater or equal to .

$\boxed{x\geq 0}$

Therefore, the domain of the function $f(x)=-\sqrt{x}$ is $[0,\infty)$ .

Figure 2 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function $f(x)=-\sqrt{x}$ .

From figure 2 it is observed that the curve of the function $f(x)=-\sqrt{x}$ always below the -axis so, it can be said that the value of function always less than or equal to .

As per the above statement it is concluded that the range of the function $f(x)=-\sqrt{x}$ is $(-\infty,0]$ .

This implies that the correct option is $\boxed{\bf option C}$ .
