Question
### Understanding Domains of Functions

In this example, we are asked to write the domain of the function using interval notation.

#### Graph Analysis:

1. **Axes and Grid**: 
   - The graph is plotted on a Cartesian plane with a grid that has intervals marked from -6 to 6 on both the x-axis and y-axis.
   - Both axes are divided into equal intervals, with the x-axis labeled from -6 to 6 and the y-axis labeled from -6 to 6.

2. **Parabolic Curve**:
   - A blue parabolic curve is shown that opens downward.
   - The curve has a broad peak and spans horizontally from x = -1 to x = 3.

3. **Endpoints**:
   - The curve begins at the point (-1, -2) and ends at the point (3, -2), with both points indicated by solid blue dots.
   - These solid dots reveal that the values -1 and 3 are included in the domain.

#### Interval Notation:

The domain of the function is the set of all x-values for which the function is defined. In this case, it includes all x-values between and including -1 and 3. 

Writing the domain in interval notation:
  
\[ \boxed{[-1, 3]} \]

This interval notation denotes that the domain starts at -1 and ends at 3, with both endpoints included.
