Given Functions:
Questions:
- Determine , , (domains of , , and ).
- (a) Create the variation tables for , , and .
(b) Calculate specific values:- .
Step 1: Domains
-
Domain of : is a quadratic polynomial, so it is defined for all .
. -
Domain of : The denominator must not be zero: Hence,
. -
Domain of : The expression inside the square root must be non-negative: Hence,
.
