Answer

See graph (red). domain $(-\infty, 2]$, range $[0,\infty)$.

Work Step by Step

Step 1. To obtain the graph of $f(x)=4\sqrt {2-x}=4\sqrt {-(x-2)}$ from $y=\sqrt x$, shift the curve 2 units to the right, reflect across the y-axis, then stretch vertically by a factor of 4. See graph (red). Step 2. We can find the domain $(-\infty, 2]$ and the range $[0,\infty)$.
