Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((-\infty, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum value of the expression \(\begin{aligned} & 1-2 x-5 x^2 \\ & a=-\frac{4+20}{4(-5)}=\frac{6}{5} \end{aligned}\) and minimum value of the expression \(x^2-2 x+5\), \(b=-\frac{4-20}{4}=4\) Now, the given quadratic expression \(5 a x^2+b x+7\) at \(a=\frac{6}{5}\) and…
