The range of the function f(k) = k2 + 2k + 1 is {25, 64}. What is the function’s domain? {5, 8} {-5, -8} {3, 8} {4, 7} {4, 8}

Respuesta :

the range is the ouutput from inputing the input
basically
25=k²+2k+1 and 64=k²+2k+1
the values that satisfy both equations (not at the same tim) are the valuess that are the domain
solve each
25=k²+2k+1
minus 25 both sides (or recognize the perfect square trinomial, but anyway)
0=k²+2k-24
factor
0=(k+6)(k-4)
set to zero
k+6=0
k=-6
k-4=0
k=4
k=-6 or 4

64=k²+2k+1
minus 64 both sides
0=k²+2k-63
facor
0=(k-7)(k+9)
set to zer
k-7=0
k=7
k+9=0
k=-9
k=-9 or 7



so the domain has the numbers
-9,-6,4,7
it seems we only want the positive square roots so
answer is {4,7} is the domain
