Question

math question

Answer 1

yes?

Answer 2

i am kinda stuck how to figure out the range for the graph

Answer 3

Me too, I haven't got the knowlege. Sorry.

Answer 4

no, it is fine!

Answer 5

\[f(x)=\left| x \right|\]

Answer 6

yes so do i plug in the x values in ?

Answer 7

what exactly are you trying to solve?

Answer 8

oh range

Answer 9

for the range

Answer 10

the range is the Y values right?

Answer 11

yep

Answer 12

the lowest that function can be is 0

Answer 13

it cant be negative

Answer 14

for the y value

Answer 15

but it can go to positive infinite

Answer 16

how do i know though???

Answer 17

what happens when you put in f(4000000000000)=?

Answer 18

er
f(-99999999999999999999999)

Answer 19

it always come out positive

Answer 20

so the range is only 0 ?

Answer 21

the range is between 0 and positive infinity

Answer 22

hmmmm... so is that also all real numbers ?

Answer 23

dont think so because real numbers can be negative

Answer 24

thanks, so what are the steps to figuring that out

Answer 25

sorry but i am kinda confused :(

Answer 26

well, if you look at the graph

Answer 27

you see that no matter what the output is positive

Answer 28

the output is the range

Answer 29

it does not go below 0, but it can be = to 0

Answer 30

yess so far so good

Answer 31

Answer 33

it goes on forever and it cant be negative

Answer 34

oh okay i see thank u for all your help! :)

Answer 35

@TylerD i have another question

Answer 36

i think thats just f(x)=absolute value of x

Answer 37

oh so the same as the parent ??

Answer 38

okay i got it thanks for the help :D
