Math Problem Statement
What is the domain of the function f(x) = √(x - 2)?
Solution
The given function is .
To find the domain of the function:
-
For a square root function, the expression under the square root must be non-negative, since the square root of a negative number is not defined in the set of real numbers.
-
So, we need:
-
Solving for :
Therefore, the domain of the function is .
This corresponds to the answer choice that indicates .
