Find the domain and range of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=- x^{2} + 10 x - 35

The domain of every polynomial is all real numbers. The sign of LaTeX:  \displaystyle a is negative so the function has a maximum value at the vertex. The vertex is located at LaTeX:  \displaystyle h=\frac{-b}{2a}=5 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle k=f(h)=-10 . This gives the range as LaTeX:  \displaystyle (-\infty,-10]
