Math Problem Statement
Find the domain of this graph
Solution
sympy import symbols, sqrt, solve, S
Define the variable and the function
x = symbols('x') expression = sqrt((1 - x) / (x - 2) + 2)
Find the conditions for the domain
1. The argument inside the square root must be non-negative
non_negative_condition = solve((1 - x) / (x - 2) + 2 >= 0, x)
2. The denominator of the fraction must not be zero
non_zero_condition = x - 2
(non_negative_condition, non_zero_condition)To find the domain of the function , we analyze two conditions:
-
Non-negativity of the square root argument: The expression inside the square root, , must be .
- Solving this inequality gives two intervals where the expression is valid:
-
Excluding division by zero: The denominator in the fraction must not be zero.
- This excludes .
Domain:
The domain is the intersection of these conditions:

- Can we rewrite the expression inside the square root in simpler terms?
- How would this function behave if we replaced the square root with a cube root?

Tip:
Always check for points where the denominator equals zero and square root arguments become negative—they define the function's domain limits.
