Homework Statement


ƒ(x,y) = √y + √[25-x2-y2]

Homework Equations


Quadratic

The Attempt at a Solution


The expression for f(x,y) is defined as long as x2 + y2 ≥ 25 and y ≥ 0 because of the square roots we can't have negative numbers. {(x,y) ∈ ℝ2 : y ≥ 0 and x2 + y2 ≥ 25} I'm not sure how I'd represent it graphically.

What is the shape of the region of the number plane that satisfies ##x^2+y^2\leq 25##?
What is the shape of the region of the number plane that satisfies ##y\geq 0##?
What is the shape of the intersection of those two regions?
