Math Problem Statement

Determine the domain of the quadratic function f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10 as shown in the graph.

Solution

The image shows a graph of a quadratic function and a question asking to determine the domain of the function.

Analyzing the Graph:

The function displayed is a parabola, which opens downward. The equation provided in the problem is f(x)=x2+12x10f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10.

Domain of the Function:

For any quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, the domain is all real numbers because there are no restrictions on the values xx can take. This is true for the given function f(x)=x2+12x10f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10 as well.

Thus, the domain of the function is: (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Would you like a detailed explanation of how I derived this, or do you have any specific questions?

Here are some related questions that expand on this topic:

  1. What is the range of the quadratic function f(x)=x2+12x10f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10?
  2. How do you find the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=x2+12x10f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10?
  3. What are the zeros (roots) of the quadratic function f(x)=x2+12x10f(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 10?
  4. How can you determine if a quadratic function opens upward or downward?
  5. How do you convert the quadratic function from standard form to vertex form?

Tip: For any quadratic function ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c, if a>0a > 0, the parabola opens upward; if a<0a < 0, it opens downward.
