Problem
A function 
has domain ![$[0,2]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/0/7/9076ffb2b9c051f1b6f07bf18066581d57216258.png)
and range ![$[0,1]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/8/6/e861e10e1c19918756b9c8b7717684593c63aeb8.png)
. (The notation ![$[a,b]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/e/c/8ecbd1ba3da8f2adef66a63f2ab32c47e63fa734.png)
denotes 
.) What are the domain and range, respectively, of the function 
defined by 
?
![$\mathrm{(A)}\ [-1,1],[-1,0]\qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ [-1,1],[0,1]\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ [0,2],[-1,0]\qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ [1,3],[-1,0]\qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ [1,3],[0,1]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/8/8/78886ac42b5d0e223a915fbc087f11ad5bb80640.png)
Solution
is defined if 
is defined. Thus the domain is all ![$x| x + 1 \in [0,2] \rightarrow x \in [ - 1,1]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/8/b/d8b6624181948180d27595212f0b42c0aceed048.png)
.
Since ![$f(x + 1) \in [0,1]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/2/9/629de8878872a37847132bd922824fc8b712810d.png)
, ![$- f(x + 1) \in [ - 1,0]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/c/9/cc930a8e58693cb8571f0405363867f1f5d76983.png)
. Thus ![$g(x) = 1 - f(x + 1) \in [0,1]$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/8/3/8834c52dfda63c5f6ffb6a790b72dadf548aa29b.png)
is the range of .
Thus the answer is ![$[ - 1,1],[0,1] \longrightarrow \boxed{B}$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/1/7/8/178016163d95db19b733409fde69e9d4755ebb9e.png)
