Exercise 17 Page 340

Check if the function has absolute minimum or maximum.

Domain: All real numbers
Range: All real numbers

Practice makes perfect

Unless specific restrictions have been stated, the domain of polynomial functions is always all real numbers. Since y depends on x, the domain determines the range. For any input value, f will show positive and negative outputs.

Since the end-behavior of the graph is down-up, and it has neither an absolute minimum nor maximum, the range of f is all real numbers.

Domain:& all real numbers Range:& all real numbers
