On the x axis means that the y value is 0 or the point is (x,0)
distance formula
D=

we know that distance is 5
the first point is (x1,y1)
the (x2,y2) is (x,0)
so
D=5
x1=-8
y1=3
x2=x
y2=0
5=

5=

5=

5=

square both sides
25=

minus 25 both sides
0=x^2+16x+48
factor
0=(x+4)(x+12)
set each to zero
x+4=0
x=-4
x+12=0
x=-12
the points are
(-4,0) and (-12,0)

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs, or x coordinates of a function. In this case, any point on the curve has an x coordinate that is 4 or smaller.
Therefore, the domain is the set of numbers x such that
To write this in interval notation, we would write
This interval starts at negative infinity and stops at 4. We exclude infinity with the curved parenthesis and include 4 with the square bracket.

The range is the set of possible y outputs. Every point on this curve has a y coordinate that is either 0 or it is larger than 0.
The range is the set of y values such that 
In interval notation, it would be written as
This time we start at 0 (including this endpoint) and "stop" at infinity
note: we always use curved parenthesis at positive or negative infinity because we cannot reach either infinity
