Question

what is the range of f(x)=|x|+1
please help will medal

Answer 1

Let me as you...can this function ever equal 0? *referring to real numbers only*

Answer 2

all real numbers greater than 0?
or all real numbers greater than or equal to 0

Answer 3

does the question give you what f(x) should stand for?

Answer 4

no just say f(x)
then f(x)=|x|+1

Answer 5

Just think about it like this

Domain = all possible 'x' values you can put in here
and
Range = all outcomes from those 'x' values you plug in

Answer 6

So if I plug in x = 1...we have f(1) = |1| + 1 = 2

Domain = 1 Range = 2

So I ask again *you did answer correctly* can you ever put ANY value for 'x' here and get f(x) = 0?

Answer 7

no it cant only equal 0

Answer 8

Right, and it can never equal a negative number right?

Answer 9

right.

Answer 10

So,

since f(x) can never be negative...and it can also never equal 0....

The range is all real numbers GREATER than 0

Answer 11

Thank you now I understand.
