$f(x) = \sqrt{8 - 3x^2}$

For the domain, where is 8 - 3x^2 negative?

For the range, what is the smallest value the square root function can have? What is the largest? (In the given domain.)

An number under the square root sign cannot be negative. So if 8 - 3x^2 is negative, then it can't be in the domain.
