range of f(x)=(2x^2+2x-12)/(x^2+x)

range

f (x) = \frac{2 x ^{2} + 2 x - 12}{x ^{2} + x}

f (x) < 2 or f (x) \geq 50

Interval Notation

Solution steps

Rewrite as

\frac{2 x ^{2} + 2 x - 12}{x ^{2} + x} = y

Multiply both sides by

x^{2} + x

2 x^{2} + 2 x - 12 = y (x^{2} + x)

The range is the set of y for which the discriminant is greater or equal to zero

Discriminant

2 x^{2} + 2 x - 12 = y (x^{2} + x) : y^{2} - 52 y + 100

y^{2} - 52 y + 100 \geq 0 : y \leq 2 or y \geq 50

Check if the range interval endpoints are included

y = 2 :

Excluded

y = 50 :

Included

Therefore the range is

f (x) < 2 or f (x) \geq 50

f (x) = \frac{1}{2} + 1

f (x) = 17 x^{4} - 102 x^{2}

f (x) = - 8 x^{3} + 24 x + 9

\frac{3 ( x - 2 )}{2 ( x - 2 )}

f (x) = 3 x + 1 - 2

What is the range of f(x)=(2x^2+2x-12)/(x^2+x) ?
The range of f(x)=(2x^2+2x-12)/(x^2+x) is f(x)<2\lor f(x)>= 50
