the function f(x) = –x2 − 2x 15 is shown on the graph. what are the domain and range of the function? the domain is all real numbers. the range is {y|y < 16}. the domain is all real numbers. the range is {y|y ≤ 16}. the domain is {x|–5 < x < 3}. the range is {y|y < 16}. the domain is {x|–5 ≤ x ≤ 3}. the range is {y|y ≤ 16}.

-x^2 - 2x + 15 in vertex form is -(x^2 + 2x - 15) = -(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 16) = -(x + 1)^2 + 16

Therefore, domain is all real numbers and range is {y|y ≤ 16}.

Answer:

The domain is all real numbers.

The range is {y|y ≤ 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function,

\(f(x)=-x^2-2x+15\)

\(f(x) = -x^2 - 2x + 15 + 1 - 1\)

\(f(x) = -(x^2 + 2x + 1) + 16\)

\(f(x) = -(x+1)^2 + 16\)

Which a downward parabola,

∵ The vertex form of a parabola is \(f(x)=a(x-h)^2 + k\)

Where, (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola,

Thus, the vertex of the above parabola = ( -1, 16 ),

Since, a downward parabola gives maximum output value on its vertex,

So, the range of the parabola = all real numbers less than equal to 16,

i.e. Range = {y|y ≤ 16},

Now, a parabola is a polynomial and a polynomial is defined for all real numbers,

Hence, Domain = All real numbers
