Domain: $(-oo, +oo)$
Range: $" "[6, +oo)$

This is a parabola $p(x)=x^2-2x+7$

We solve for the vertex to determine the minimum point, because this parabola opens upward.

$p(x)=x^2-2x+1-1+7$
$p(x)=(x-1)^2+6$
$p(x)-6=(x-1)^2$

Vertex is at $(1, 6)$

graph{y=x^2-2x+7[-20,20,-10,10]}

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
