Find the domain and range of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x)=x^{2} + 32 x + 265

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}=-16 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle k=f(h)=9 . This gives the range as LaTeX:  \displaystyle [9,\infty)
