Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given two functions:
and .
To solve the domain-related problems in the image, we need to determine the domain for each case.
(a) The domain of :
The domain of the sum of two functions is the intersection of the domains of and .
-
The domain of : The expression inside the square root, , must be non-negative: Therefore, the domain of is .
-
The domain of : The expression inside the square root, , must also be non-negative: Therefore, the domain of is .
The domain of is the intersection of the domains of and , which is:
(b) The domain of :
Similar to part (a), the domain of is the intersection of the domains of and . Therefore, it remains:
(c) The domain of (product):
Again, the domain of the product of two functions is the intersection of the domains of and . Thus, the domain of is:
(d) The domain of (quotient):
The domain of the quotient is the intersection of the domains of and , excluding any points where , since division by zero is undefined.
- We already know that the domain of both and is .
- Set to find where it is undefined: Therefore, when .
Thus, the domain of is (excluding ).
Final Answers:
- (a) The domain of is .
- (b) The domain of is .
- (c) The domain of is .
- (d) The domain of is .
Would you like any further details or clarifications on these results?
Here are five related questions you might consider:
- How does the square root function impact the domain of a function?
- What changes would occur in the domain if and involved higher powers?
- What happens to the domain if were placed in the numerator instead?
- How would the domains change if and were logarithmic functions instead of square root functions?
- How can we graphically interpret the domains of these functions?
Tip: Always check for points where the denominator equals zero when working with quotient functions to avoid undefined values.
