What is the range of the given function?

A. [tex]\(\{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\{ x \mid x = -5, 1, 4, 6 \}\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(\{ x \mid x = -7, -5, -1, 0, 1, 4, 6, 9 \}\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(\{ y \mid y = -7, -5, -1, 0, 1, 4, 6, 9 \}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To find the range of the given function, we will focus on the [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values provided in the table. The range of a function is the set of all possible [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values that the function can take.

Given the table:
[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x & y \\ \hline -5 & 9 \\ \hline 1 & 0 \\ \hline 4 & -7 \\ \hline 6 & -1 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

The corresponding [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values are:
[tex]\[ 9, 0, -7, -1 \][/tex]

To determine the range, we list these [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values in ascending order and remove any duplicates if there are any. In this particular case, there are no duplicates. The sorted list of unique [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values is:
[tex]\[ -7, -1, 0, 9 \][/tex]

Thus, the range of the given function is:
[tex]\[ \{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \} \][/tex]

Among the given options, this corresponds to:
[tex]\[ \{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \} \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \} \][/tex]
