What is the range of the function shown below? f(x)=-12/x^2+6

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you know that \(\large\color{black}{ x^2 }\) is at least a zero, therefore \(\large\color{black}{ x^2+6 }\) will always be 6 or greater. This means there is no domain restriction. the range however will be limited to some small values. when \(\large\color{black}{ x }\) is 0, then you get \(\large\color{black}{ 2 }\) for the range, you won't get more. it can't be negative either, although for very high positive values, the function (the output) will approach zero closer and closer.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean you get -2 for the range when x=0. sorry.

A. All real numbers B. All real numbers less than 0 C. All real numbers greater than or equal to -2 and less than 0 D. All real numbers greater than or equal to -2

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

also, for the NEGATIVE high values, the f(x) will also approach zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c?

yes C is right
