Math Problem Statement

find the domain of h(x) = 30√ x − 40

Solution

To find the domain of the function h(x)=30x40h(x) = 30\sqrt{x - 40}, we need to determine the values of xx for which the expression under the square root is non-negative. This is because the square root function is only defined for non-negative values.

  1. Set up the inequality:
    x400x - 40 \geq 0

  2. Solve for xx:
    x40x \geq 40

  3. Interpret the result:
    The domain of h(x)h(x) is all xx values that are greater than or equal to 40.

Final Answer:

The domain of h(x)=30x40h(x) = 30\sqrt{x - 40} is: x40x \geq 40 or, in interval notation: [40,)[40, \infty)

  5. How does the presence of the square root affect the domain in functions?

Tip: Always check for restrictions in the argument of square roots and denominators when finding domains!
