1. **State the problem:** We need to find the range of each quadratic function given either by formula or table of values.
2. **Recall the general form and range of a quadratic function:**
A quadratic function is generally written as $$y = a(x-h)^2 + k$$ where $(h,k)$ is the vertex.
- If $a > 0$, the parabola opens upward and the range is $$[k, \infty)$$.
- If $a < 0$, the parabola opens downward and the range is $$(-\infty, k]$$.
3. **Analyze each function:**
- For $y = -x^2$ (H and R):
- Vertex at $(0,0)$, $a = -1 < 0$ so parabola opens downward.
- Range is $$(-\infty, 0]$$.
- For $y = -x^2 + 3$ (U):
- Vertex at $(0,3)$, $a = -1 < 0$.
- Range is $$(-\infty, 3]$$.
- For $y = x^2 - 3$ (S):
- Vertex at $(0,-3)$, $a = 1 > 0$.
- Range is $$[-3, \infty)$$.
- For $y = (x + 4)^2 + 3$ (E):
- Vertex at $(-4,3)$, $a = 1 > 0$.
- Range is $$[3, \infty)$$.
- For $y = -2(x - 1)^2 - 3$ (T bottom-left):
- Vertex at $(1,-3)$, $a = -2 < 0$.
- Range is $$(-\infty, -3]$$.
- For $y = (x - 3)^2$ (H bottom-center):
- Vertex at $(3,0)$, $a = 1 > 0$.
- Range is $$[0, \infty)$$.
4. **For tables, find the minimum or maximum y-value:**
- For A (table): x = 1,2,3,4,5; y = 11,6,3,2,3
- Minimum y is 2, maximum y is 11.
- Since y decreases then increases, vertex at x=4 with y=2.
- Range is $$[2, 11]$$.
- For T (bottom-right table): x = 0,2,4,6,8; y = 8,4,8,20,40
- Minimum y is 4 at x=2.
- Range is $$[4, \infty)$$ since values increase after minimum.
5. **Summary of ranges:**
- H, R: $$(-\infty, 0]$$
- U: $$(-\infty, 3]$$
- A: $$[2, 11]$$
- S: $$[-3, \infty)$$
- E: $$[3, \infty)$$
- T (bottom-left): $$(-\infty, -3]$$
- H (bottom-center): $$[0, \infty)$$
- T (bottom-right): $$[4, \infty)$$
This completes finding the ranges for all given quadratic functions.
