Math Problem Statement

Determine the range of the following graph:

Solution

To determine the range of the given graph, we need to look at the minimum and maximum yy-values that the graph reaches.

Observations from the graph:

  1. The graph appears to have two clear endpoints:

    • The leftmost endpoint is at (10,0)(-10, 0), indicating a yy-value of 00.
    • The rightmost endpoint is at (3,5)(3, 5), indicating a yy-value of 55.
  2. The graph also has a local maximum at around (7,6)(-7, 6), indicating a yy-value of 66, and a local minimum at approximately (0,3)(0, -3), indicating a yy-value of 3-3.

Conclusion:

The range of the graph consists of all yy-values from the lowest point, 3-3, to the highest point, 66. Therefore, the range is:

[3,6]\boxed{[-3, 6]}
