What is the range of the function g(x) = |x - 12| - 2?

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given by

It is an absolute value function which has a v- shaped graph.

The vertex form of an absolute function is given by y = a|x-h| +k, where (h,k) is the vertex.

Comparing the given equation with this, we have

h = 12

k = -2

Hence, the vertex would be (12,-2).

Now, the range of the function is the set of y values for which the function is defined.

This function has vertex of (12,-2). hence, it would not take any values which are less than -2. Please see the attached graph.

Hence, the range would be the all y values greater than or equal to -2.

Hence, the range is given by

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
