1. The problem asks for the range of a function, which is the set of all possible output values (y-values) the function can take. 2. The options given are: a. $\{-8, \infty\}$ meaning the function outputs values from -8 to infinity including -8. b. $(-\infty, 7\}$ meaning the function outputs values from negative infinity up to and including 7. c. all real numbers meaning the function can output any real number. 3. To determine the range, we need the function's formula or graph, which is not provided here. 4. Without the function, we cannot definitively select the range. 5. If you provide the function, I can help find its range step-by-step.
