Iwill mark the answer with the best explanation as ! if anyone could as soon as possible, i would greatly appreciate !

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a function of variable x means the set of all possible values of the function.

The function, is given by .

.

For x < 0, we can not find any maximum or minimum value. So, in this case we need to find the limits.

.

Here, if you notice you will see as the function's value is - 1 - x, for x<0, the ultimate value of the function for all x<0 will be greater than - 1.

So, for x < 0 all the values of the function will be > -1.

For x > 0, .

For x = 0, the function's value will be 0.

The range of the function will be the all real numbers y > -1.

answer: 193

explanation:

200-7 = 193

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
