Answer: Choice B

Range = {-3, 1, 5}

============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the set of all possible input x values. The range is the set of all possible y outputs.

Plug in each x value from the domain, one at a time, to get its corresponding range y value.

--------------------

Start with x = -3

f(x) = 2x+3

f(-3) = 2(-3)+3

f(-3) = -6+3

f(-3) = -3

So -3 is in the range.

--------------------

Move onto x = -1

f(x) = 2x+3

f(-1) = 2(-1)+3

f(-1) = -2+3

f(-1) = 1

1 is also in the range

--------------------

Finally plug in x = 1

f(x) = 2x+3

f(1) = 2(1)+3

f(1) = 2+3

f(1) = 5

The value 5 is the final value in the range.

--------------------

All of those values form the set {-3, 1, 5} which is the complete range.
