Answer

Domain: The set of all real numbers. Range: $[5 , \infty )$

Work Step by Step

$$\begin{aligned} h(x) &= 0.3(x-2.7)^2 +5. \end{aligned}$$ Compare the given parabola with the standard vertex form: $$ f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k.$$ We see that this parabola opens upward since the constant, $a= 0.3$, is positive. The minimum value is $k= 5$. The domain and range of the function are given below. Domain: The set of all real numbers. Range: $[5 , \infty )$
