Math Problem Statement

In Exercises 1-6, find the domain and range of each function. 1. f(x) = 1 + x^2 2. f(x) = 1 - sqrt(x) 3. F(x) = sqrt(5x + 10) 4. g(x) = sqrt(x^2 - 3x) 5. f(t) = 4 / (3 - t) 6. G(t) = 2 / (t^2 - 16)

Solution

The exercise in the image asks to find the domain and range of the following functions:

  1. f(x)=1+x2f(x) = 1 + x^2
  2. f(x)=1xf(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x}
  3. F(x)=5x+10F(x) = \sqrt{5x + 10}
  4. g(x)=x23xg(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 3x}
  5. f(t)=43tf(t) = \frac{4}{3 - t}
  6. G(t)=2t216G(t) = \frac{2}{t^2 - 16}

Let's solve each one for domain and range:

  1. f(x)=1+x2f(x) = 1 + x^2

    • Domain: x(,)x \in (-\infty, \infty), since the quadratic function is defined for all real numbers.
    • Range: y1y \geq 1, as x2x^2 is always non-negative, and the minimum value is 11 when x=0x = 0.
  2. f(x)=1xf(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x}

    • Domain: x0x \geq 0, because the square root function is defined for non-negative values.
    • Range: y1y \leq 1, since x0\sqrt{x} \geq 0, the maximum value occurs when x=0x = 0, and the function decreases as xx increases.
  3. F(x)=5x+10F(x) = \sqrt{5x + 10}

    • Domain: 5x+1005x + 10 \geq 0x2x \geq -2.
    • Range: y0y \geq 0, since the square root function always returns non-negative values.
  4. g(x)=x23xg(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 3x}

    • Domain: x23x0x^2 - 3x \geq 0x(x3)0x(x - 3) \geq 0, which gives x0x \leq 0 or x3x \geq 3 by solving the inequality.
    • Range: y0y \geq 0, since it's a square root function.
  5. f(t)=43tf(t) = \frac{4}{3 - t}

    • Domain: 3t03 - t \neq 0t3t \neq 3.
    • Range: All real numbers except y=0y = 0, because the function never equals zero.
  6. G(t)=2t216G(t) = \frac{2}{t^2 - 16}

    • Domain: t2160t^2 - 16 \neq 0t±4t \neq \pm 4.
    • Range: All real numbers except y=0y = 0, as the denominator never makes the function zero.
