Find the domain and range of \(\displaystyle f(x)=- 2 x^{2} - 28 x - 103 \)


The domain of every polynomial is all real numbers. The sign of \(\displaystyle a\) is negative so the function has a maximum value at the vertex. The vertex is located at \(\displaystyle h=\frac{-b}{2a}=-7\) and \(\displaystyle k=f(h)=-5\). This gives the range as \(\displaystyle (-\infty,-5]\)
