B.
all positive numbers
C.
all positive numbers and 0
D.
all negative numbers

Answer 1

all positive numbers and 0
option c

Answer 2

C. All positive numbers and 0.

Explanation:

We have been given a function
`y=√(x)`. We are asked to find the range of our given function.

We know that when a function is in form
`y=c√(ax+b)+k`, then the range of the square root function is all values of y greater than or equal to k.

We can rewrite our given function as:

`y=√(x)+0`

Since the value of k is 0, therefore, the range of our given function
`y\geq 0` that is all positive numbers and 0.
