OpenStudy (liamschumm):

Ok, the range of a function is the range of outputs you can get from that function.

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

Can you get a negative number from f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm yes???

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

No, you cannot.

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

It is because of the absolute value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right it always the opposite right?

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

So we know that the bottom limit of your range is 0, inclusive.

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

But can it be any positive number and 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes??

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

Yes.

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

Therefore, the range is 0 and up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (liamschumm):

Yes!
