Math Problem Statement

g(x) = 3 - √(6 - 2x)

Solution

The function provided in the image is:

g(x)=362xg(x) = 3 - \sqrt{6 - 2x}

This is a square root function. To understand its behavior and domain, let's break it down:

  1. Domain of the function:

    • The square root function 62x\sqrt{6 - 2x} requires that the expression inside the square root must be non-negative (since the square root of a negative number is not real in standard real-valued functions).
    • Therefore, 62x06 - 2x \geq 0.

    Solving for xx: 62x02x6x36 - 2x \geq 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad -2x \geq -6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \leq 3 So, the domain of the function is x(,3]x \in (-\infty, 3].

  2. Range of the function:

    • The square root function 62x\sqrt{6 - 2x} always gives non-negative values.
    • The largest value of 62x6 - 2x occurs when x=x = -\infty, which tends towards positive infinity.
    • Therefore, g(x)=3some non-negative valueg(x) = 3 - \text{some non-negative value}, and the function will decrease from 3 downwards, depending on xx.

Would you like to proceed with any of the following analyses?

  1. Analyze the function's derivative to find critical points.
  2. Plot the graph of g(x)g(x) for visualization.
  3. Find the behavior of the function as xx approaches 3 from the left.
  4. Discuss possible transformations based on the square root.
  5. Explore further transformations or possible simplifications.

Tip: Whenever you deal with square roots in functions, always check the domain first to avoid undefined values!
