Find the positive area of the function

y=(x6)2+4 y=(x-6)^2+4

Step-by-step solution

We begin by analyzing the given function y=(x6)2+4 y = (x-6)^2 + 4 . This is a parabola in vertex form, with the vertex at the point (6,4) (6, 4) . The expression (x6)2 (x-6)^2 represents the square of (x6) (x-6) , and as a square, it can only be zero or positive, thus (x6)20(x-6)^2 \geq 0.

Adding 4, the smallest value that y y can take is therefore 4 4 , which occurs when (x6)2=0(x-6)^2 = 0. That means at the vertex, the function achieves its minimum value of y=4 y = 4 , which is clearly positive.

This implies the function y=(x6)2+4 y = (x-6)^2 + 4 is never negative for any real value of x x . Hence, the area above the x-axis is positive or non-negative for all values of x x , which means no restrictions on the domain are necessary based on positivity.

Thus, the solution concludes that the function remains non-negative for all x x , satisfying the condition of positive area.

Therefore, the correct choice is For all X.
