The Quadratic Function has the domain as the set of all real numbers.
For the range, start from minimum value to maximum value.
But because the parabola is downward as a < 0. Thus, there are no minimum value but the maximum value instead.
Therefore the range is y <= -4
Option a: is the equivalent expression.
Explanation:
The expression is where
Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.
Multiplying the powers, we get,
Cancelling the like terms, we have,
This equation can also be written as,
Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,
Thus, the expression which is equivalent to is
Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
