Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks to determine the domain of the function . To find the domain, we must ensure that the expression under the square root is non-negative, as the square root function is only defined for non-negative numbers (i.e., the radicand must be greater than or equal to zero).
So, we set up the inequality:
Now, solve for :
Therefore, the domain of the function is:
The domain in interval notation is:

- What happens to the domain if a negative square root is involved, e.g., ?
- How do you determine the domain of a rational function involving a square root?
Tip: For any function involving a square root, always check that the expression inside the root is non-negative to find the domain.
