The function $f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 36$ is a quadratic function, which has a domain of all real numbers because you can input any real number for $x$. The function can be rewritten in vertex form as $f(x) = (x-6)^2$, indicating its vertex is at $(6,0)$ and it opens upwards. This means the minimum value of $y$ is 0, making the range $\{ y \mid y \geq 0 \}$.
