Math Problem Statement

Determine the domain and range of the function f(x) = 2√(x+1) + 2 and identify the restriction(s) on the expression (x+5)/(x-5).

Solution

I see the mathematical questions you've uploaded. Let me solve them step by step.

Question 9: Domain and Range of f(x)=2x+1+2f(x) = 2\sqrt{x+1} + 2

To determine the domain:

  • The square root function x+1\sqrt{x+1} is only defined for x+10x+1 \geq 0, which means x1x \geq -1.

To determine the range:

  • x+10\sqrt{x+1} \geq 0, so 2x+102\sqrt{x+1} \geq 0.
  • Adding 2 to this gives f(x)2f(x) \geq 2.

Thus, the domain is {x1}\{x \geq -1\}, and the range is {y2}\{y \geq 2\}.
Correct Answer: Option (c).


Question 10: Restrictions on the Expression x+5x5\frac{x+5}{x-5}

The denominator cannot be zero, so:

  • x50x-5 \neq 0, which means x5x \neq 5.

Thus, the restriction is x5x \neq 5.
Correct Answer: Option (B).


Summary of Solutions:

  • Q9 Answer: (c).
  • Q10 Answer: (B).

Tip: Always check the denominator for restrictions and solve inequalities carefully for square roots!
