SOLUTION:
This is a piecewise-defined function. Make a table of values. Be sure to include the domain values for which the
function changes.

Notice that both functions are linear.
The graph will cover all possible values of x, so the domain is all real numbers. The graph does not include y-values
between 1 and 3. Thus, the range is {y | y
1 or y > 3}.
