The image shows a graph with a parabola opening upwards. The vertex of the parabola appears to be at the point (0, -2), and the parabola extends infinitely upward.

Determining the Range:

• Range: The range of a function is the set of all possible $y$-values that the function can take.
• Since the vertex of the parabola is the lowest point, the $y$-values start from $y = -2$ and increase infinitely upwards.

Thus, the range of this parabola is: $\text{Range} = [-2, \infty)$

This means that the function can take any $y$-value starting from $-2$ and extending to positive infinity.

Tip: When determining the range of a quadratic function from its graph, look at the vertex and the direction the parabola opens. If it opens upwards, the range starts from the y-coordinate of the vertex and goes to infinity. If it opens downwards, the range goes from negative infinity up to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
