I don't know how to do this

In chemistry the volume for a certain gas is given by V = 10T, where V is measured in cc and T is temperature in °C. If the temperature varies from 70°C to 130°C, find the set of volume values. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

Student,
 
Edward gave you a good answer for the problem as stated, but the problem statement is not realistic.  A formula such as
 
V = 10T
 
can only be valid if the temperature scale is absolute, but the Celsius scale is not absolute.  If T was in Kelvins or degrees Rankine, then the formula could be valid.  Where did this problem come from?

the problem asks for the lowest V and the highest V in the T range of 70 to 130. 
So, what is the V for T = 70?
And what is the V for T = 130?
 
so the answer is [ 700, 1300]
