Final answer:
The range of the given function is -63.2. The largest value from this set is -63.2, so the range is -63.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option B) -20.
To find the range of the given function, we need to substitute the given values of x into the function and calculate the corresponding y values. Let's perform the calculations step by step:
- For x = -5.4: y = -20 + (-20) + (-20) + (0.5) + (-5.7) = -70.6
- For x = -2.0: y = -20 + (-20) + (-20) + (0.5) + (-5.7) = -65.2
- For x = 2: y = -20 + (-20) + (-20) + (0.5) + (-5.7) = -63.2
Therefore, the range of the given function is -70.6, -65.2, -63.2. The largest value from this set is -63.2, so the range is -63.2.
