x is a letter often used as a variable. It can be in the range or the domain. However, in elementary algebra, the variable x is most often used for the domain and f(x) =y for the range.
For an Explicit Function, you are going to need to have 2 functions, that mirror each other. So you are going to need two equations: y=(1-x^2)^(1/2) and y=-(1-x^2)^(1/2) you need to have them...
