Find the domain and range of the function f(x)=(x2+2x+1)/(x2-8x+12)

Ans. f(x) = (x2+2x+1)/(x2-8x+12)

To find domain as the function is rational so its denominator must not be equal to zero(0).

x2-8x+12 = 0

=> x2-6x-2x+12=0

=> x(x-6)-2(x-6)=0

=> (x-6)(x-2)=0

=> x = 2,6

For these two values this function 'll become undefined. So  domain = R - {2,6}

To Find Range:

Let f(x)=y

=> (x2+2x+1)/(x2-8x+12) = y

=> x2+2x+1 = yx2+

-8xy+12y

=> yx2-8xy +12y -x2-2x-1 =0 

=> (y-1)x2 -(8y+2)x +(12y-1) = 0

Now D ≥ 0

=> b2 -4ac ≥ 0

=> (8y+2)2 - 4(y-1)(12y-1) ≥ 0 

= (8y+2)≥ 4(12y2 -13y +1)

=> 64y2 + 4 + 32y ≥ 48y2 -52y +4

=> 16y2 + 84y ≥  0

divide by 4

=> 4y2 + 21y ≥ 0

=> y(4y+21) ≥ 0

=> y ≥ 0 and 4y +21 ≥ 0

y ≥ 0  and y ≥ -21/4

So domain = R - (-21/4, 0)
