State the restrictions on the range for y=x^4+8x^3+k

Answer: The range is y \ge k-432

The way to get this answer isn't completely obvious. What I did first was graph the function using GeoGebra allowing k to be a parameter. With k as a sliding parameter, the graph was able to be slid up and down the screen. The basic shape of the curve is a distorted W shape. The lowest point being the local minimum. Which is where the lower endpoint of the range would be.

Using the derivative, we can get
y = x^4 + 8x^3 + k
dy/dx = 4x^3 + 24x^2
set dy/dx equal to zero and solve for x
dy/dx = 0
4x^3 + 24x^2 = 0
4x^2(x + 6) = 0
4x^2 = 0 or x+6 = 0
x = 0 or x = -6

It turns out that x = 0 is a saddle point so we can ignore this value. Only x = -6 is where the local min is at. Plug this back into the original function

y = x^4+8x^3+k
y = (-6)^4+8(-6)^3+k
y = -432+k
y = k - 432

So when the input is x = -6, the output is k - 432 for some value k
In other words, the smallest y can get is k - 432. Otherwise it will be larger than this value

So that's why the range is y \ge k - 432

Note: if this calculus approach doesn't make much sense, then you can try various k values and use a calculator to find the lowest point. Making a table of k values with the corresponding lowest point would hopefully point you in the right direction.

What group of numbers does -2 belong to?
Marizza181 [45]
Answer: Integers and Rational Numbers

Explanation: -2 is an integer because integers include positive an negative numbers. It would not be a whole number or a Naural number because both of those sets only include positive numbers. Here’s a better explanation:

Natural numbers: Natural Numbers are like (1,2,3....). They only include positive numbers. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this category.

Whole Numbers: Whole Numbers are like (0,1,2,3....). They include all the natural numbers with 0. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this set.

Integers: Integers include both positive and negative numbers. They are like (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....). Since they both have positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

Rational Numbers: Rational Numbers include ALL the sets that were described. (Natural, Whole, Integer). Since this set also includes positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

So, -2 belongs in Integers and Rational Numbers

Hope this helps!
