What is the range of the following function?

OpenStudy (surana):

Need to put it here first...

OpenStudy (surana):

And done.

OpenStudy (tommynaut):

The range of a function is all the y values it can take; compare to the domain of a function which is all the x values it can take. So, looking at the domain, we can see that the line only exists for values of x that are greater than or equal to -2; before then, at x = -3 for example, the line doesn't exist at all. So from that, we can see that the domain of the function is x≥−2 Using a similar mindset but using y, what would the range be?

OpenStudy (surana):

@Nnesha ?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

your range just means ALL the possible y-values that you can have for a function. So looking at your graph... What is the lowest y-value you can have ?

OpenStudy (surana):

One?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

That's correct! :D Now we know the lowest possible y-value = 1. I'm going to assume that your function is a continuous line so the y-value keeeeeeps on increasing and getting higher and higher and higher. So basically y≥1 because this means y can EQUAL to 1 and is greater than 1 which is true for this function right? :))

OpenStudy (surana):

Yes, I believe so.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yepp
