Q. Evaluate the function: f(x)=3x+1[2,2]f(x)=-3x+1\quad[-2,2]
  1. Calculate f(2)f(-2): Calculate f(2)f(-2) and f(2)f(2) to find the function values at the endpoints of the interval.\newlinef(2)=3(2)+1=6+1=7f(-2) = -3(-2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7\newlinef(2)=3(2)+1=6+1=5f(2) = -3(2) + 1 = -6 + 1 = -5
  2. Determine function behavior: Determine the behavior of the function over the interval. Since the function is linear and decreasing (coefficient of xx is 3-3), the maximum value occurs at the left endpoint x=2x = -2 and the minimum value occurs at the right endpoint x=2x = 2.\newlineMaximum value at x=2x = -2 is 77.\newlineMinimum value at x=2x = 2 is 5-5.
  3. Conclude function range: Conclude the range of the function on the interval [2,2][-2, 2] is from the minimum value to the maximum value.\newlineRange: [5,7][-5, 7]
