Answer:

The range is

B.
y\:<\:0

Explanation:

The given function is


f(x)=-2(0.5)^x

Let
y=-2(0.5)^x

The range refers to y-values for which x is defined.

We solve for x to get;


-(y)/(2) =0.5^x


\log(-(y)/(2)) =\log(0.5)^x


\log(-(y)/(2)) =x\log(0.5)


x=(\log(-(y)/(2)) )/(\log(0.5))

x is defined for;


-(y)/(2)\:>\:0

Multiply by -2 and reverse the inequality sign.


\implies y\:<\:0
