Answer: Range is y > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The lowest point is where the open hole is. This is when y = -1. The open hole means we exclude it from the graph, so we can't reach y = -1
We can have any y value larger than -1 as part of the range. So the range is the set of y values such that y > -1
Side note: the domain is x > 1 for similar reasoning, but we're looking at the possible x values now.
