Math Problem Statement

F(x) =√x and g(x) = 1+x find domain and range of f and g

Solution

Let's analyze the given functions and determine their domains and ranges step by step.

1. Function: f(x)=xf(x) = \sqrt{x}

Domain:

The square root function is defined only when the value inside the square root is non-negative (x0x \geq 0).

  • Therefore, the domain of f(x)f(x) is: Domain of f(x):[0,)\text{Domain of } f(x): [0, \infty)

Range:

The square root function produces non-negative values only (x0\sqrt{x} \geq 0).

  • Therefore, the range of f(x)f(x) is: Range of f(x):[0,)\text{Range of } f(x): [0, \infty)

2. Function: g(x)=1+xg(x) = 1 + x

Domain:

The function g(x)g(x) is a linear equation, which is defined for all real numbers (xRx \in \mathbb{R}).

  • Therefore, the domain of g(x)g(x) is: Domain of g(x):(,)\text{Domain of } g(x): (-\infty, \infty)

Range:

Since g(x)=1+xg(x) = 1 + x is a linear function, it can take any real value depending on xx. Thus, the range is: Range of g(x):(,)\text{Range of } g(x): (-\infty, \infty)


Final Answer:

  • Domain of f(x)f(x): [0,)[0, \infty)
  • Range of f(x)f(x): [0,)[0, \infty)
  • Domain of g(x)g(x): (,)(-\infty, \infty)
  • Range of g(x)g(x): (,)(-\infty, \infty)
