What is the range of the absolute value parent function?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the range of the absolute value parent function, which is the set of output values that the function can produce. We know that the absolute value function outputs values that are always non-negative.
Answer
The set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
The final answer is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
More Information
The absolute value parent function is defined as f(x) = |x|. Since absolute values can never be negative, the minimum output value is zero, and it can go up to positive infinity.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming the range includes negative values, but absolute values always produce nonnegative outputs.
