Domain : #R#

Range : #y >=1#

Explanation:

graph the function graph{x^4+1 [-5, 5, -2.5, 2.498]}
you can see that the smallest value occurs at #x=0#

which is #f(x)=1#

when plotting x with #x<1# or #x>1# you get #f(x)>1# because this

is an even function so the end behaviour is always #f(x)# increasing

whether to the left or to the right
