Math Problem Statement
domain of F(x)= the square root of x+4
Solution
To find the domain of the function , 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.
So, we set up the inequality:
Solving for :
Thus, the domain of the function is all real numbers such that . In interval notation, the domain is:
