Q. What is the range of this quadratic function?\newliney=x2+16x+64y = x^2 + 16x + 64\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yy0{y | y \leq 0}\newline(B)yy0{y | y \geq 0}\newline(C)yy8{y | y \geq -8}\newline(D)all real numbers
  1. Find Vertex: We have the quadratic function y=x2+16x+64y = x^2 + 16x + 64. To find the range, we need to determine the vertex of the parabola. The xx-coordinate of the vertex can be found using the formula x=b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}, where aa is the coefficient of x2x^2 and bb is the coefficient of xx.\newlineSubstitute a=1a = 1 and b=16b = 16 into the formula.\newlinex=1621x = -\frac{16}{2 \cdot 1}\newlinexx00\newlinexx11
  2. Calculate Vertex Coordinates: Now that we have the x-coordinate of the vertex, we need to find the corresponding y-coordinate by substituting x=8x = -8 into the original equation.y=(8)2+16(8)+64y = (-8)^2 + 16*(-8) + 64y=64128+64y = 64 - 128 + 64y=0y = 0The vertex of the parabola is at the point (8,0)(-8, 0).
  3. Determine Parabola Direction: The coefficient of x2x^2 in the equation y=x2+16x+64y = x^2 + 16x + 64 is positive, which means the parabola opens upwards. Since the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is the lowest point on the graph, the range of the function will include all yy-values greater than or equal to the yy-coordinate of the vertex.
  4. Identify Range: The yy-coordinate of the vertex is 00, so the range of the function is all yy-values greater than or equal to 00. Therefore, the range of the function is {yy0}\{y | y \geq 0\}.
