Math Problem Statement

state the domain of each function h(x)=sqrt(6-x^2)

Solution

To determine the domain of the function h(x)=6x2h(x) = \sqrt{6 - x^2}, we need to consider the conditions under which the expression inside the square root is non-negative, because the square root of a negative number is not a real number.

The expression inside the square root is 6x26 - x^2. Therefore, we require:

6x206 - x^2 \geq 0

This inequality can be rewritten as:

x26x^2 \leq 6

Taking the square root of both sides:

6x6-\sqrt{6} \leq x \leq \sqrt{6}

So, the domain of the function h(x)=6x2h(x) = \sqrt{6 - x^2} is:

x[6,6]x \in [-\sqrt{6}, \sqrt{6}]

This means that h(x)h(x) is defined for all xx values in the interval [6,6][- \sqrt{6}, \sqrt{6}].

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would the domain change if the function was h(x)=9x2h(x) = \sqrt{9 - x^2}?
  2. What is the range of the function h(x)=6x2h(x) = \sqrt{6 - x^2}?
  3. How do you find the domain of a function that includes a fraction?
  4. What would be the domain if the function were h(x)=x26h(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 6} instead?
  5. Can the function h(x)=6x2h(x) = \sqrt{6 - x^2} have negative values?

Tip: When finding the domain of a function involving a square root, always ensure the expression inside the square root is greater than or equal to zero.
