If r(x) = 2 – x2 and w(x) = x – 2, what is the range of (wºr) (x)
(-∞,0]
(-∞,2]
[0,∞)
[2,∞)

(-inf,2]

Step-by-step explanation:

I replaced r(x) with 2-x^2

I replace the x in w(x)=x-2 with 2-x^2

You can graph this to find the range.

But since this is a quadratic (the graph is a parabola), I'm going to find the vertex to help me to determine the range.

The vertex is at x=-b/(2a).  Once I find x, I can find the y that corresponds to it by using y=-x^2-x+2.

Comparing ax^2+bx+c to -x^2-x+2 tells me a=-1, b=-1, and c=2.

So the vertex is at x=1/(2*-1)=-1/2.

To find the y-coordinate that corresponds to that I will not plug in -1/2 in place of x into -x^2-x+2.

This gives me

-(-1/2)^2-(-1/2)+2

-1/4 +  1/2  +2

Find a common denominator which is 4.

-1/4 +  2/4  +8/4

8/4

2.

So the highest y value is 2 ( I know tha parabola is upside down because a=negative number)

That mean then range is 2 or less than 2.

So the answer an interval notation is (-inf,2]

the answer is the option b

the range is all real numbers

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the absolute value parent function is equal to

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

a. it is v-shaped > is true

b. the range is all real numbers > is not true

because the range is the > [0,∞)

all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

c. it goes through the origin > is true

d. the domain is all real numbers > is true
