While it's true that quadratic functions have no domain restrictions, the range is restricted because x2 ≥ 0. The correct answer is: The domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers f(x) such that f(x) ≥ 7.
It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of to get to . It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. . As you can see, they are not equivalent.
