To determine who is correct regarding the range of the function, we first need to understand what the range of a function is. The range of a function is the set of all output values (or dependent variable values) it can produce, based on its input values (or independent variable values).
Given the two claims:
- Steven says the range includes -10, 0, 4, and 7.
- Mary says the range includes -10, 0, 4, and 5.
To identify who is correct, we would generally need the explicit definition of the function or information about it (like a graph, equation, or a table of values) that indicates the outputs associated with the inputs. Since that information is not provided, we can't definitively determine the range from just the numbers mentioned by Steven and Mary.
Assuming you have the function's details, look at its outputs to see which values are actually attainable.
- If the function indeed produces -10, 0, 4, and 7, then Steven is correct.
- If it produces -10, 0, 4, and 5, then Mary is correct.
- If neither set of numbers is obtainable from the function, then both are incorrect.
- If both sets of numbers are obtained from the function’s outputs, both could be seen as partially correct.
If you can provide the function or any additional details, I can help you further analyze it. Otherwise, based solely on the information given, we cannot determine who is correct about the range of the function.
