Math Problem Statement
Find the domain and range of the following: (a). f(x) = 1/√(x − 3)
Solution
Let's find the domain and range of the function .
Domain:
The domain of a function consists of all the values of for which the function is defined. In this case, the function involves a square root and a division.
-
Square Root Condition: The expression inside the square root, , must be non-negative, because the square root of a negative number is not defined in the set of real numbers. Therefore, , which simplifies to:
-
Division Condition: The expression under the square root, , must not be zero because division by zero is undefined. Therefore: This implies , so .
Combining these two conditions, must be greater than 3: [ \text{Domain: } x > 3 \
