A set of weights includes an 8 lb. barbell and 6 pairs of weight plates. Each pair of plates weighs 15 lb. If x pairs of plates are added to the barbell, the total weight of the barbell and plates in pounds can be represented by f(x) = 15x + 8. What is the range of the function for this situation?

Answer

8,98

Explanation:

the minimum amount of weight you can use is the barbell alone which is 8lbs by itself and the maximum is 98 because there are 6 15lb plates which equal to 90lb total and when you add the 6 plates to the barbell you get 98lbs
