if f(x) = 2 - x^1/2 and g(x) = x^2 – 9, what is the domain of g(x) divided f(x)?


Sagot :

~Shoto Todoroki here~

Let's consider what we are asked. The domain is defined as a set of points that satisfy the equation on the x-ordinate.

So, essentially, we need to find if and what the restriction on x is.

Let's now consider just f(x) because g(x) is completely irrelevant to the question.

f(x) = 2 - x^(1/2)

Since f(x) can never be 0 for a defined function, let's consider when f(x) = 0 to find a restriction on x.

2 - x^(1/2) = 0

2 = x^(1/2)

+-4 = x

But we can only take the positive 4 because inside a square root has to always be positive (unless you're dealing with complex numbers), so the only restriction is that x cannot be equal to 4.

Therefore, our domain is: x >= 0; x =/= 4

hope this helps :D
