the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.
the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex
well
Answer:
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
