Math Problem Statement

(\frac{\sqrt{x-1}+3}{3}).find the domain

Solution

To find the domain of the expression x1+33\frac{\sqrt{x-1}+3}{3}, we need to ensure that the expression inside the square root is non-negative, because the square root of a negative number is not defined in the set of real numbers.

Step-by-step process:

  1. Identify the restriction inside the square root:
    The expression inside the square root is x1x - 1.
    To ensure the square root is defined, we need:
    x10x - 1 \geq 0

  2. Solve the inequality:
    x1x \geq 1

  3. Conclusion:
    The domain of the expression is all real numbers xx such that x1x \geq 1.

Thus, the domain is: [1,)\boxed{[1, \infty)}
