Math Problem Statement
Solution
The function given is:
To find the domain of this function, we need to make sure of two things:
- The denominator must be non-zero, since division by zero is undefined.
- The expression inside the square root must be positive, as the square root of a negative number is not real in the context of real numbers.
So, we must solve the inequality:
Let's solve this inequality to determine the domain of . I will proceed with the calculations.The solution to the inequality is:
Thus, the domain of the function is:
This is the interval where the function is defined.
