Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the lower bound would be the smallest value xy could produce, which is smallest value of x times the largest value of y, -1 times 10 is -10. the upper bound would be the largest value of xy, which is the largest value of both variables, 8 times 10 is 80. hence the range of xy is -10<= xy <=80.
