Popular >

range of x^4-4x^2

range

x^{4} - 4 x^{2}

f (x) \geq - 4

Interval Notation

[- 4, \infty)

Solution steps

The function range is the combined domain of the inverse functions

Find the inverse function(s) of:

x^{4} - 4 x^{2}

Inverse of

x^{4} - 4 x^{2} : 2 + x + 4, - 2 + x + 4, 2 - x + 4, - 2 - x + 4

2 + x + 4, - 2 + x + 4, 2 - x + 4, - 2 - x + 4

Find the domain of each inverse function

Domain of

2 + x + 4 : x \geq - 4

Domain of

- 2 + x + 4 : x \geq - 4

Domain of

2 - x + 4 : - 4 \leq x \leq 0

Domain of

- 2 - x + 4 : - 4 \leq x \leq 0

Combine the intervals

f (x) \geq - 4

\frac{2 x ^{2} + x}{x ^{2} - 3 x}

g (t) = - \frac{9}{2 t ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2} + 1}{x ^{2} - 1}

x^{4} - 12 x^{3}

\frac{6 x}{x - 5}
