The range of function $f(x) = 4x^2 + 12x+7, x∈ R$ is |
$[−2,∞)$ $[0, ∞)$ $R$ $(-2,∞)$ |
$[−2,∞)$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $[−2,∞)$ Given function: $f(x) = 4x^2 + 12x + 7$ Rewrite in vertex form: $f(x) = 4(x^2 + 3x) + 7$ $f(x) = 4[(x + \frac{3}{2})^2 - \frac{9}{4}] + 7$ $f(x) = 4(x + \frac{3}{2})^2 - 9 + 7$ $f(x) = 4(x + \frac{3}{2})^2 - 2$ The minimum value occurs at $x = -\frac{3}{2}$. Minimum value of $f(x)$ is $-2$. Since the coefficient of $x^2$ is positive, the parabola opens upwards. Range of $f(x)$ = $[-2, \infty)$ |
