Given the function:


y=x^2-2x-8

Let's determine the range of the function using the graph.

The range of a function is the set of all possible y-values which define the function.

From the graph shown, the value of y starts from the vertex at y = -9 and goes upward.

Therefore, the range of the function is all values of y greater than or equal to -9.

y ≥ - 9

Hence, in interval notation is:


[-9,\infty)

ANSWER:


[-9,\infty)
