  • In this precalculus tutorial, we will find the domain and the range of the rational function f(x)=(x^2-2x-3)/(4x-12). This is a kind of tricky question because many students will just cancel out the common factor and make a mistake on the range of the function. Be careful!

    respect to sir. have been doing domain and range for two grades and didn't understand as much as this 4 minute video explained. 😸

    I remember in my classes where we need to find the range of rational functions with quadratic and/or linear terms, excpet most of them could not be “simplified”(i.e. you cant cancel stuff out).
    The catch was them for most of them, we were not allowed to use pictures, and hence cannot use calculus(because most have max/min points which restrain the range). We had to use the discriminat of quadratic expressions to solve it algebraicly

      in my midterm exam recently we had to find the minimum value of a rational quadratic function and at the time, I did not know about the cross multiplying discriminant trick, so I just pulled out calculus to find the answer lol

      @@leonardobuna5522 how would you apply that? bc im also struggling with range at the moment and I have no taken any calculus prior?

    4x - 12 = 0
    x = 3
    f(x) = (x^2 - 2x - 3)/(4x - 12)
    f’(x) = [(2x - 2)(4x - 12) - 4(x^2 - 2x - 3)] / (4x - 12)^2
    0 = (4x^2 - 24x + 36)/(4x - 12)^2
    0 = x^2 - 6x + 9
    x = 3 is where the extremum would normally be, but f(x) has an asymptote at x = 3
    so we test 4 values in f(x): - inf, + inf, 3- and 3+
    f(- inf) = - inf
    f(inf) = inf
    f(3-) = - inf
    f(3+) = + inf
    The range of f is (-inf,3)U(3,inf).

    How would you know that this is a straight line, and not a parabola?

    • @solidpixel
      @solidpixel Рік тому +2

      when you simplify the highest power of x is 1 so it has to be a straight line

      the simplified function has degree one, hence the st line

    • @Anu55203
      @Anu55203 Місяць тому

      X has power of 1 so its a straight line. Try plotting y=2x+1 or y=x+2 on a graph. You will get a straight line. You will get parabola only when the function looks like y=x²+2 or y=x².

    It's incredible to me how many people on youtube don't understand or bother understanding that a lapel microphone is meant to be clipped on a shirt. Its literally why it has a clip. The sheep see one youtuber holding it , and the rest just mimic the same. monkey see, monkey do.
