Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks to find the domain of the following functions:
(a)
We need to find the values of for which the denominator is not zero. The domain will be all real values except those that make the denominator zero.
The denominator is: Factoring: So, and are the values where the denominator is zero. Thus, the domain of is:
(b)
For the square root function to be defined, must be non-negative, meaning . Also, the denominator cannot be zero, so , which gives .
Thus, the domain of is: This means all non-negative real numbers excluding .
(c)
This function contains square roots, so the expressions inside the square roots must be non-negative. Both square root terms involve , so we must have: Thus, the domain of is:
