Answer:

a) I used the equation x=-5; f(x)=-11 and x=-4; f(x)=-3. We get the range = -3-(-11)=8

b) I used the equation x=-5; f(x)=-11 and x=-3; f(x)=5. We get the range = 5-(-11)=16

c) I used the equation x=-5; f(x)=-11 and x=-2; f(x)=13. We get the range = 13-(-11)=24

d) Range of input is equal with the ratios of the output. You can find the pattern of output above 8,16,and 24 can divided by 8 and give the result 1,2 and 3
