Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given function is:
To determine the domain of the function , we need to ensure that the expression under the square root is non-negative, because the square root of a negative number is not real (for real-valued functions).
So, we solve for:
Subtract 25 from both sides:
Now, divide by 5:
Thus, the domain of is all values of such that .
In interval notation, the domain is:

- What happens if the inequality results in no real solutions?
- How do you express the domain for a logarithmic function?
- Can you explain how to graph the domain of this function on a number line?
- How do transformations (shifting or stretching) affect the domain of square root functions?
Tip: Always remember, the domain of a square root function requires the expression inside the square root to be greater than or equal to zero.
