Math Problem Statement

Find domain

Find the domain of f(x) = 3 - √(6 - 2x).

Solution

The given function appears to be:

f(x)=362xf(x) = 3 - \sqrt{6 - 2x}

To find the domain of this function:

The domain of a function refers to all the values of xx for which the function is defined. Since the function involves a square root, the expression inside the square root must be non-negative because the square root of a negative number is not a real number.

Step 1: Set the expression inside the square root to be greater than or equal to zero.

62x06 - 2x \geq 0

Step 2: Solve the inequality.

62x6 \geq 2x x3x \leq 3

Thus, the function is defined for x3x \leq 3.

Final Domain:

The domain of the function is: (,3](-\infty, 3]

Let me know if you have questions or want more details! Here are a few related questions:

  1. How do you solve square root inequalities like the one in this problem?
  2. What happens to the domain if the function was f(x)=62x+3f(x) = \sqrt{6 - 2x} + 3?
  3. What is the range of the function f(x)=362xf(x) = 3 - \sqrt{6 - 2x}?
  4. How do you find the domain of a rational function?
  5. What is the difference between domain and range in a function?

Tip: Always remember that square roots in real functions are only defined for non-negative numbers.
