What is the range of: (Sin(3x^2))/(4x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sin theta has range of -1 to 1 What bout 4x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All real numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, now thats in the denominator, so how will the total function vary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put in extreme values of x (-infinity,+infinity), also put x=0 and see what u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please just tell me the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just going to 0 when it's +- infinity and approaching 0 when x approaches 0 This does not make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x has range as all real numbers, so some number/4x will also have a range of all real numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you graph it on a calculator, the range is not all real numbers...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm, i dont know, it should go to infinity when x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would make the range all real numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if x is a very small number, the function would approach infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No because sin is between 1 and -1 and the bottom is going to infinity 1 or -1 over infinity is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no, when x = 0 or a small number, then something over small number tends to infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are right for x = infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how would I find the range?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm, you are right, when x is near 0, sinx will be very small, you might need to differentiate to calculate the maximum value possible to find the range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by symmetry, minimum value would be the same with a negative sign, that would give u the range
