Domain of the function - every value.
The range: [0; GmMER^2]
where R=6380

The Gravitational force (in newtons) exerted by the Earth on the space shuttle depends on "r", the shuttles distance in km from the earths center, and is given by F=GmMer-2.

where

Me=m5.97 x 1024 mass of earth in kg

m= 1.05 x 105 mass of shuttle orbiter in kg

G= 6.67 x 10-11 gravitational constant

Re=6380 radius of earth in km

A=1000 km max altitude of orbiter

based on the info, find the domain and range of the function

thank you so much to anyone who helps me!
