The vertex of y = 6x^2 +3 is (0,3). The min is y = 3 because this is the y coordinate of the vertex and the leading coefficient is positive.

Domain: The set of all real numbers (this is true for any polynomial)

Range: The set of all real numbers such that y%3E=3 (this is because the min is y = 3). Basically any number greater than or equal to 3 is part of the range.

In interval notation,

Domain:

Range:
