    -x^2 + 2x + 7 =

    -(x^2 - 2x) + 7 =

    -(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 8 =

    -(x - 1)^2 + 8

    The range of the above is (-∞, 8).

    Therefore, the domain of g(x) is [0, 8].

    Therefore, the range is [0, √8], or 0 ≤ y ≤ √8

    g'(x) = (1/2)(-2x+2)/-x^2+2x+7)^(1/2) = 0 for maximum

    2x=2

    x = 1

    g(1) = sqrt(8)

    Range 0≤y≤√8
