Answer:

  • B) - 5 ≤  y < ∞

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

Given function:

  • f(x) = |x| − 5

This is an absolute value function and is the translation of f(x) = |x| down by 5 units.

We know that f(x) = |x| is never negative as per definition of absolute value. So its range is zero or positive numbers:

  • 0 ≤ y < ∞

The given function (|x| - 5) can get values 5 less than the parent function (|x|), so its range is:

  • - 5 ≤  y < ∞

This is option B.
