the range is all the possible y values from - inf, inf. Look for intervals where the function ceases to exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try finding the max

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i just insert equation incalculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could graph it?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Or what @chris00 said, you can find the relative max by finding the derivative and setting it equal to 0. then find your x-values (crit point) and these will tell you terminals of increase and decrease for the range AND domain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gd explanation!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um i dont understand

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

What do you get when you take the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not good at math btw and deritivate of what?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Or better yet,do you know how to find the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Of \(\large f(x) =-6(x-1)^2 +1\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ok, so i'm going to show you a quick method of finding it. You can watch youtube videos on finding derivatves of the function to further help you solve the rest of your problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You have \[\large f(x)-6(x-1)^2 +1\]\[\large \frac{d}{dx} [f(x)= -6(x-1)^2 +1\] Apply chain rule to \((x-1)^2\)\[\large f'(x) = -6\frac{d}{dx}[(x-1)^2 +1]\]\[\large -6(2)(x-1)(1)+0=0\] Simplify \(\large -12(x-1)=0\) solve for x.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

If you have any further questions about how to find this derivative, @chris00 can assist you :) Good luck with your homework! And checkout these videos on derivatives https://www.khanacademy.org/math/calculus/differential-calculus/derivative_intro/v/calculus--derivatives-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is for college btw -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and its kicking my retrice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jhannybean how am i suppose to solve for x? im confused :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@whpalmer4 can you pleasee help me??

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

easy, \(\large -12(x-1)=0 \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use factor theorem :- x-1 = 0 add 1 both sides x - 1 = 0 +1 +1 x = 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

next, substitute this value of x in f(x), you would get the max value for range

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large f(x) = -6(x-1)^2 +1\) put x = 1 \(\large f(x) = -6(1-1)^2 +1\) \(\large = ? \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)=−6(x−1)^2 +1 now it is always that for x is real,,(x-a)^2,(a is real no.) is always greater than or equal to zero... so here f(x)is lesser than or equal to 1...(for x belongs to all real values) so the upper limit is 1...and rest for all x,f(x) is lesser than one...so for all x belongs to real no. we have f(x) belongs to (-infinity to 1]...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let f(x)=y \[y=-6\left( x-1 \right)^{2}+1=-6\left( x ^{2}-2x+1 \right)^{2}+1=-6x ^{2}+12x-6+1\] \[6x ^{2}-12x+\left( 5+y \right)=0\] \[x=\frac{ 12\pm \sqrt{12^{2}-4\left( -6 \right)\left( 5+y \right)} }{2*-6 }\] for x to be real discriminant ge 0 144+120+24y>=0 \[24y \ge -264\] \[y \ge \frac{ -264 }{ 24 },y \ge -11\] |dw:1372771938804:dw| \[range is [-11,\infty )\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\frac{ 12\pm \sqrt{12^{2}-4*6*\left( 5+y \right)} }{2*6 }\] discriminant=144-120-24y=24-24y \[24-24y \ge 0 ,-24y \ge -24,y \le \frac{ -24 }{-24 } or y \le 1\] \[Range is ( -\infty,1]\] |dw:1372772974412:dw|
