why for (c) the range can’t be f(x)>0

im still confused

#

initially my ans for c is f(x)>0, but after checking the ans sheet, found out f(x)>=14

#

my question is yah ans is not f(x)>0

crystal obsidian
#

Like, what you've shown here is f(x) >= 14.

viscid owl
#

that’s the ans provided by the ans sheet

crystal obsidian
#

...right, and that's not what you said the answer sheet answer was.

viscid owl
#

then what’s the correct answer

#

for the range of fx

crystal obsidian
#

Let me be clearer - you said that the answer sheet said f(x) >= 2, but what it says in the image is f(x) >= 14.

viscid owl
#

oh mb

#

f(x)>=f(2)is the ans

crystal obsidian
#

Because the function achieves its minimum at x = 2.

#

And by definition, it can never be less than its minimum.

#

Except apparently it can.

#

Because I guess that's just a local minimum.

#

🤔

crystal obsidian
#

$\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = -\infty$
