Answer 1

To find the range of the function \( f(x) = 2x - 4 \) for the given domain \( {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2} \), we will calculate \( f(x) \) for each value in the domain:

1. For \( x = -2 \): \[ f(-2) = 2(-2) - 4 = -4 - 4 = -8 \]

2. For \( x = -1 \): \[ f(-1) = 2(-1) - 4 = -2 - 4 = -6 \]

3. For \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = 2(0) - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4 \]

4. For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1) = 2(1) - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2 \]

5. For \( x = 2 \): \[ f(2) = 2(2) - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0 \]

Now, we have calculated the following values for \( f(x) \):

• \( f(-2) = -8 \)
• \( f(-1) = -6 \)
• \( f(0) = -4 \)
• \( f(1) = -2 \)
• \( f(2) = 0 \)

Now, let's summarize the results to find the range of the function \( f(x) \) over the given domain:

• The values obtained are \( {-8, -6, -4, -2, 0} \).

Now we can choose the correct response based on the calculated range. The correct answer is:

\({-8, -6, -4, -2, 0}\)
