Question

What is the range of the function y = |x |?

x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
all real numbers

Answer 1

The smallest value y could have is 0, the range is [0, infinity)

Answer 2

The graph of the absolute value function has its vertex at (0,0) and opens up in a v-shape. Thus, the smallest value y could have is 0. The range is [0, infinity).
