Verified Answer :

The domain and the range of the function are all possible values of the x and y, respectively,  that function can take.
     The range is given by:

\(y_{o}= \frac{3}{3} +12 \\ y_{o}=12 \\ \\ y_{e}= \frac{27}{3} +12 \\ y_{e}=21 \\ \\ \boxed {Im=(y\in R \mid 12\leq y \leq 21)}\)
 
     The domain is given by:

\(\boxed {D=(x\in R \mid 3\leq y \leq 27)}\)
