Question 9 • Algebra 1

Which function has a range of start set y such that y is less than or equal to 5 end set ?

Answer
A
f of x is equal to negative x negative 4 squared plus 5
B
f of x is equal to x negative 5 squared plus 4
C
f of x is equal to negative x negative 5 squared plus 4
D
f of x is equal to x minus 4 squared plus 5

Explanation

A function has range y ≤ 5 when its graph reaches a maximum value of 5 and extends downward. Choice D is f(x) = −(x − 4)² + 5: since a square is always nonnegative, the negative square is at most 0, so f(x) is at most 5. Its maximum is 5, so its range is y ≤ 5.
