The correct Answer is:
To find the range of the function \( f(x) = |x| \), we will analyze the behavior of the absolute value function. ### Step 1: Understanding the Absolute Value Function The absolute value function \( f(x) = |x| \) is defined as: - \( f(x) = x \) when \( x \geq 0 \) - \( f(x) = -x \) when \( x < 0 \) ### Step 2: Evaluating the Function for Non-Negative Values When \( x \) is greater than or equal to zero: - For \( x = 0 \), \( f(0) = |0| = 0 \) - For \( x > 0 \), \( f(x) = x \) which is always positive. Thus, for all non-negative values of \( x \), \( f(x) \) takes values starting from \( 0 \) and goes to \( +\infty \). ### Step 3: Evaluating the Function for Negative Values When \( x \) is less than zero: - For \( x < 0 \), \( f(x) = -x \). Since \( x \) is negative, \( -x \) will be positive. - Therefore, \( f(x) \) will also yield positive values. ### Step 4: Conclusion on the Range From the above analysis, we can conclude that: - The function \( f(x) = |x| \) always produces values that are greater than or equal to \( 0 \). - The minimum value of \( f(x) \) is \( 0 \) (when \( x = 0 \)), and it can take any positive value as \( x \) increases or decreases. Thus, the range of the function \( f(x) = |x| \) is: \[ \text{Range} = [0, +\infty) \]
