Find the domain and range of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=6 x^{2} - 13

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}=0 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle k=f(h)=-13 . This gives the range as LaTeX:  \displaystyle [-13,\infty)
