Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the following: (a). f(x) = 1/√(x − 3)

Solution

Let's analyze the function f(x)=1x3f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}} to determine its domain and range.

Domain:

The domain of a function consists of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

  1. Square Root Condition: The square root function, x3\sqrt{x - 3}, is only defined when x30x - 3 \geq 0. Therefore, x3x \geq 3.

  2. Denominator Condition: The function also has a denominator, so x3\sqrt{x - 3} cannot be zero. This occurs when x30x - 3 \neq 0, i.e., x3x \neq 3.

Combining these two conditions, we get x>3x > 3. Therefore, the domain of f(x)f(x) is:

Domain=(3,)\text{Domain} = (3, \infty)

Range:

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can take.
