Question 16 • Mathematics II

What is the range of the function f of x is equal to 3 fourths absolute value of x minus 3 ?

Answer
A
all real numbers less than or equal to 3
B
all real numbers less than or equal to negative 3
C
all real numbers greater than or equal to negative 3
D
all real numbers

Explanation

Since |x| is always at least 0, (3/4)|x| is also at least 0. Subtracting 3 means f(x) is always at least −3, and it reaches −3 when x = 0. So the range is all real numbers greater than or equal to −3, choice C.
