Explanation:

Exercise 1:

Step 1: Find Domain (Age values)

Domain is set of all \( x \)-values (ages). From the table, ages are \( 4, 8, 12, 16 \). So domain: \( \{4, 8, 12, 16\} \).

Step 2: Find Range (Height values)

Range is set of all \( y \)-values (heights). Heights are \( 41, 49, 58, 67 \). So range: \( \{41, 49, 58, 67\} \).

Exercise 2:

Step 1: Find Domain (\( x \)-values)

\( x \)-values are \( -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 \). Domain: \( \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\} \).

Step 2: Find Range (\( y \)-values)

\( y \)-values are \( 7, 4, 2, 4, 7 \). Unique values: \( \{2, 4, 7\} \). Range: \( \{2, 4, 7\} \).

Exercise 3:

Step 1: Find Domain (\( x \)-values)

\( x \)-values: \( -3, 8, 0, -3, -5 \). Unique: \( \{-5, -3, 0, 8\} \). Domain: \( \{-5, -3, 0, 8\} \).

Step 2: Find Range (\( y \)-values)

\( y \)-values: \( 4, -9, -6, 7, 12 \). Range: \( \{-9, -6, 4, 7, 12\} \).

Exercise 4:

Part a: \( f(3) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into \( f(x) = 4x - 7 \)

\( f(3) = 4(3) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 \).

Part b: \( f(-5) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = -5 \)

\( f(-5) = 4(-5) - 7 = -20 - 7 = -27 \).

Exercise 5:

Part a: \( f(4) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = 4 \) into \( f(x) = -3x + 10 \)

\( f(4) = -3(4) + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2 \).

Part b: \( f(-9) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = -9 \)

\( f(-9) = -3(-9) + 10 = 27 + 10 = 37 \).

Exercise 6:

Part a: \( g(6) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = 6 \) into \( g(x) = x^2 + 5x - 1 \)

\( g(6) = 6^2 + 5(6) - 1 = 36 + 30 - 1 = 65 \).

Part b: \( g(-4) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = -4 \)

\( g(-4) = (-4)^2 + 5(-4) - 1 = 16 - 20 - 1 = -5 \).

Exercise 7:

Part a: \( h(5) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = 5 \) into \( h(x) = -2x^2 - 3x + 8 \)

\( h(5) = -2(5)^2 - 3(5) + 8 = -50 - 15 + 8 = -57 \).

Part b: \( h(0) \)

Step 1: Substitute \( x = 0 \)

\( h(0) = -2(0)^2 - 3(0) + 8 = 8 \).

Exercise 8:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( f(x) = 2x + 7 \)

• For \( x = 5 \): \( f(5) = 2(5) + 7 = 17 \)
• For \( x = 18 \): \( f(18) = 2(18) + 7 = 43 \)
• For \( x = -5 \): \( f(-5) = 2(-5) + 7 = -3 \)

Range: \( \{17, 43, -3\} \).

Exercise 9:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( g(x) = 9 - 4x \)

• For \( x = -2 \): \( g(-2) = 9 - 4(-2) = 9 + 8 = 17 \)
• For \( x = 10 \): \( g(10) = 9 - 4(10) = 9 - 40 = -31 \)
• For \( x = -1 \): \( g(-1) = 9 - 4(-1) = 9 + 4 = 13 \)

Range: \( \{-31, 13, 17\} \).

Exercise 10:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( F(x) = 3x^2 - 1 \)

• For \( x = 2 \): \( F(2) = 3(2)^2 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11 \)
• For \( x = 4 \): \( F(4) = 3(4)^2 - 1 = 48 - 1 = 47 \)
• For \( x = -3 \): \( F(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 1 = 27 - 1 = 26 \)

Range: \( \{11, 47, 26\} \).

Exercise 11:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( h(x) = x^2 + 8x - 3 \)

• For \( x = 1 \): \( h(1) = 1 + 8 - 3 = 6 \)
• For \( x = 5 \): \( h(5) = 25 + 40 - 3 = 62 \)
• For \( x = -2 \): \( h(-2) = 4 - 16 - 3 = -15 \)

Range: \( \{6, 62, -15\} \).

Exercise 12:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( f(t) = \frac{t^2 + 2t}{t - 5} \)

• For \( t = 4 \): \( f(4) = \frac{16 + 8}{4 - 5} = \frac{24}{-1} = -24 \)
• For \( t = 7 \): \( f(7) = \frac{49 + 14}{7 - 5} = \frac{63}{2} = 31.5 \)
• For \( t = -2 \): \( f(-2) = \frac{4 - 4}{-2 - 5} = \frac{0}{-7} = 0 \)

Range: \( \{-24, 31.5, 0\} \).

Exercise 13:

Step 1: Substitute each domain value into \( G(n) = -n^2 + 3n + 2 \)

• For \( n = 5 \): \( G(5) = -25 + 15 + 2 = -8 \)
• For \( n = -3 \): \( G(-3) = -9 - 9 + 2 = -16 \)
• For \( n = 0 \): \( G(0) = 0 + 0 + 2 = 2 \)

Range: \( \{-16, -8, 2\} \).

Answer:

s (Key for the Puzzle):
After solving each exercise, we cross out the letters above the answer. The remaining letters (after crossing out all answers) will spell the punchline. But for the numerical answers of each exercise:

1. Domain: \( \{4, 8, 12, 16\} \), Range: \( \{41, 49, 58, 67\} \)
2. Domain: \( \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\} \), Range: \( \{2, 4, 7\} \)
3. Domain: \( \{-5, -3, 0, 8\} \), Range: \( \{-9, -6, 4, 7, 12\} \)
4. a. \( 5 \), b. \( -27 \)
5. a. \( -2 \), b. \( 37 \)
6. a. \( 65 \), b. \( -5 \)
7. a. \( -57 \), b. \( 8 \)
8. Range: \( \{17, 43, -3\} \)
9. Range: \( \{-31, 13, 17\} \)
10. Range: \( \{11, 47, 26\} \)
11. Range: \( \{6, 62, -15\} \)
12. Range: \( \{-24, 31.5, 0\} \)
13. Range: \( \{-16, -8, 2\} \)

(After crossing out these answers from the letter grid, the remaining letters spell "BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE HOSE" – but following the problem's instruction, the final remaining letters after crossing out answers are the solution. However, the main numerical answers for each exercise are as above.)
