Math Problem Statement

What is the range of the function represented by the graph?

Solution

The graph shown in the image represents a function that starts at a point around (3,3)(-3, -3) and increases as it moves to the right. The curve suggests that as xx increases, yy also increases without bound. Therefore, the graph appears to extend towards positive infinity in the yy-direction.

To find the range:

  • The lowest point on the graph appears to be at y=3y = -3.
  • The graph increases indefinitely, so the function has no upper bound.

Thus, the range of the function is [3,)[-3, \infty).

The correct answer is:

Option A: [3,)[-3, \infty)

Would you like more details or have any further questions? Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. What is the domain of the given function?
  2. How would the range change if the graph were reflected over the x-axis?
  3. How can you determine the range of a function just by looking at its equation?
  4. If the lowest point of the graph were moved to 5-5, how would the range change?
  5. What are the key differences between the domain and the range of a function?

Tip: Always look at the lowest and highest points on the graph when identifying the range of a function.
