Find the domain and range of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=2 x^{2} - 40 x + 206

The domain of every polynomial is all real numbers. The sign of LaTeX:  \displaystyle a is positive so the function has a minimum value at the vertex. The vertex is located at LaTeX:  \displaystyle h=\frac{-b}{2a}=10 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle k=f(h)=6 . This gives the range as LaTeX:  \displaystyle [6,\infty)
