The function \( c(x) = 10x \) represents the total cost of the field trip based on the number of students \( x \), where each student costs $10.

To find the possible outputs (the range) for this function, we can consider different values for \( x \) (the number of students).

  1. If there are no students going on the field trip, \( x = 0 \): \[ c(0) = 10 \times 0 = 0 \]

  2. If there are a few students, for example, 1 student: \[ c(1) = 10 \times 1 = 10 \]

  3. If 10 students are attending: \[ c(10) = 10 \times 10 = 100 \]

  4. If 20 students attend: \[ c(20) = 10 \times 20 = 200 \]

The cost will continue to increase as the number of students increases.

The outputs of the function \( c(x) \) can take on any non-negative multiples of 10, starting from 0. Hence, the possible outputs (range) are:

  • All non-negative integers that are multiples of 10.

This means the range of the function \( c(x) \) is: \[ {0, 10, 20, 30, \ldots} \]

If the options you have include ranges such as:

  • \( [0, \infty) \)
  • multiples of 10
  • or a specific list like \( 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, \ldots \)

Then two possible outputs of the range could be \( [0, \infty) \) or multiples of 10. Please check your list of options and select the relevant ones!
