To determine the range of the given function, we need to look at the [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values from the provided table of values. The range is the set of all output values ( [tex]\( y \)[/tex] values) that the function takes.
Given the table:
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
$x$ & $y$ \\
\hline
-5 & 9 \\
\hline
1 & 0 \\
\hline
4 & -7 \\
\hline
6 & -1 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
The [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values listed are 9, 0, -7, and -1.
The range of the function is the set of these [tex]\( y \)[/tex]-values:
[tex]\[
\{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \}
\][/tex]
By comparing this with the given options, the correct choice is:
[tex]\[
\{ y \mid y = -7, -1, 0, 9 \}
\][/tex]
