Question

which choice describes the range of a quadratic function?

all of the \\(x\\)-values that are possible within the function.
all of the \\(y\\)-values that are possible within the function.

Explanation:

Define the mathematical concept of range

The range of any function, including a quadratic function, is the complete set of all possible output values (typically represented by the variable \(y\)) that result from systemically inputting every value in the domain.

Compare the given choices

• The first choice describes the domain, which consists of all possible input \(x\)-values.
• The second choice correctly describes the range, which consists of all possible output \(y\)-values.

Answer:

• All of the x-values that are possible within the function.
• All of the y-values that are possible within the function. (Correct answer)
