What is the range of the function represented by this graph?

 The range is real numbers less than 1

[1, -∞)  

Step-by-step explanation:  The range is all the y-values.  The top of the parabola (vertex) is at 1 above the x-axis. You have to look at the scale and notice that the scale is in increments of 2, The vertex is between 0 and 2. The parabola extends down to negative infinity.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
