Answer: {g | 0 ≤ g  ≤ 32}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation [tex]\( m + 20g = 640 \)[/tex] describes the relationship between the number of miles driven, [tex]\( m \)[/tex], and the amount of gasoline remaining, [tex]\( g \)[/tex]

To find the range of the function, we need to determine the values of [tex]\( g \)[/tex] when the tank is full (before the trip starts, when [tex]\( m = 0 \)[/tex]) and when the tank is empty (after Donald has driven as far as possible with the gasoline, when [tex]g = 0[/tex])

When the tank is full (at the start of the trip), [tex]\( m = 0 \)[/tex]. Plugging this into the equation gives us the amount of gasoline when the tank is full:

[tex]\[ 0 + 20g = 640 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ g = 32 \][/tex]
When the tank is empty, there is no gasoline left, so [tex]\( g = 0 \)[/tex]. At that point, Donald would have driven the maximum number of miles:
[tex]\[ m + 20(0) = 640 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ m = 640 \][/tex]

So, the range of the function is all the values that [tex]\( g \)[/tex] can take, from full (32 gallons) to empty (0 gallons). Therefore, the correct range is:

[tex]\[ \{ g | 0 \leq g \leq 32 \} \][/tex]
