The range of the function f(x) = |x - 1| is:
  1. (-∞, 1)
  2. [0, ∞)
  3. (-1, 1)
  4. [1, ∞)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The range of the function f(x) = |x - 1| is:
  • Step 1: Understand the function f(x) = |x - 1|. This is an absolute value function.
  • Step 2: Know that the absolute value of any number is always 0 or positive.
  • Step 3: Find the minimum value of the function. The minimum occurs when x - 1 = 0, which is when x = 1. At this point, f(1) = |1 - 1| = |0| = 0.
  • Step 4: Since the absolute value can only be 0 or greater, the function will never produce a negative value.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the smallest value of f(x) is 0, and it can go up to infinity as x moves away from 1 in either direction.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the range of the function is all values from 0 to infinity, written as [0, ∞).
