Since there are no roots or fractions, the domain is unlimited:
$- oo < x< +oo$

The smallest value of $x^2$ can be $0$ or $x^2>=0$

Which means that $-2x^2<=0->-2x^2+1<=1$

Which puts the range as: $- oo < y <=1$
graph{-2x^2+1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

What is the domain and range of y=-2x^2+1 y=-2x^2+1 ?
