Understanding Domain and Range of Quadratic Functions

The video tutorial explains how to determine the domain and range of the quadratic function f(x) = 3x^2 + 6x - 2. It covers the concept of domain as all real numbers and introduces the idea of imaginary numbers. The range is discussed through graphing the function, identifying the vertex, and understanding the symmetry of the parabola. The range is determined to be all real numbers greater than or equal to -5.
