Math Problem Statement

Find the function domain and range of the following functions and evaluate at (5,0): a) 𝑧 = 𝑥 + √y

Solution

Let's analyze the function given:

Function:
z=x+yz = x + \sqrt{y}

  1. Domain:

    • The function involves a square root, y\sqrt{y}. For y\sqrt{y} to be defined in the real number system, yy must be non-negative.
    • Therefore, the domain requires y0y \geq 0.
    • xx has no restrictions since it is added directly without any constraints.

    Domain:
    xRx \in \mathbb{R} (all real numbers)
    y0y \geq 0

  2. Range:

    • Since z=x+yz = x + \sqrt{y}, the minimum value of y\sqrt{y} is 0 (when y=0y = 0).
    • As yy increases, y\sqrt{y} can take any non-negative value.
    • Given that xx can take any real value, zz can also take any real value.

    Range:
    zRz \in \mathbb{R} (all real numbers)

  3. Evaluate at (5, 0):

    • Substitute x=5x = 5 and y=0y = 0: z=5+0=5+0=5z = 5 + \sqrt{0} = 5 + 0 = 5

    Result:
    z=5z = 5 at (5,0)(5,0)

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How would the domain change if the function were z=x+y2z = x + \sqrt{y - 2}?
  2. What if the function were z=x+yz = x + \sqrt{|y|}? How does that affect the domain and range?
  3. If the function were z=x+y1/3z = x + y^{1/3}, how would the domain and range differ?
  4. How does adding constraints on xx, such as x0x \geq 0, affect the domain and range?
  5. Can the domain or range of this function change in complex analysis?

Tip: When dealing with square roots, always check if the argument inside the root is non-negative to ensure it's within the real domain.
