Find the domain and range of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=3 x^{2} + 60 x + 312

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)=12 . This gives the range as LaTeX:  \displaystyle [12,\infty)
