[50, 410]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the plumber works 0 hours, he still charges $50, so that is the minimum of the range of charges.

If the plumber works 8 hours, his hourly charge of 8*$45 = $360 is added to his fixed charge of $50 for a total of $410. That is the maximum of the range of daily charges.

The range of the function is $50 to $410.
