Transcript text: Give the domain and range of the quadratic function whose graph is described.
The vertex is $(-3,-1)$ and the parabola opens down.
The domain of $f$ is $\square$ (Type your answer in interval notation.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Vertex and Direction of Opening
The given vertex is \((h, k) = (-3, -1)\) and the parabola opens down.
Step 2: Determine the Domain and Range
For a vertical parabola that opens down, the domain is always all real numbers, thus \(\text{Domain} = (-∞, ∞)\).
The range depends on the direction of opening. Since it opens down, \(\text{Range} = ((-∞, -1])\).
Final Answer:
The domain of the parabola is (-∞, ∞) and the range is ((-∞, -1]), rounded to 0 decimal places if necessary.
