If (f(x)=x^2-4x+8) and (x\in[0,5]), what is the range of (f)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( [4,13] )

The direct answer is B: the range is \\( [4,13] \\). Complete the square: \\(f(x)=x^2-4x+8=(x-2)^2+4\\). Since a square is at least zero, the minimum is 4, attained at x=2, which lies in [0,5]. For the maximum on this interval, check the endpoints: \\(f(0)=8\\) and \\(f(5)=25-20+8=13\\). Therefore the largest value is 13, and the continuous parabola takes every value between 4 and 13. B is correct. A stops at 8 and misses values such as 10 and 13. C wrongly includes values below the minimum 4. D starts at 8 and misses the minimum and intermediate values. The vertex is inside the interval, so it must be checked; then endpoints determine the maximum. Memory cue: rewrite a quadratic as \\( (x-h)^2+k\\) to see its minimum.
