I face some difficulties to find the domain

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the domains of various mathematical functions, specifically problems 46, 47, and 51. For problem 46, the domain is established as x ≥ 0 for the function f(x) = √x, while for problem 47, the domain is not all real numbers due to the function's undefined points. The analysis of problem 51 involves solving the inequality y² - 2y - 3 ≥ 0, which requires factoring and understanding the conditions for the product of factors to be non-negative.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mathematical functions and their domains
  • Knowledge of inequalities and how to solve them
  • Familiarity with square root functions and their restrictions
  • Ability to factor quadratic expressions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of square root functions and their domains
  • Learn how to solve inequalities involving quadratic expressions
  • Explore the concept of undefined points in rational functions
  • Practice factoring polynomials and analyzing their roots
USEFUL FOR

Students studying algebra, educators teaching mathematical functions, and anyone looking to improve their understanding of domains in mathematics.

The domain of problem 46 is not all real numbers. For √x, domain is x≥0. Use that for √(-1-s).

The domain of 47 is larger than just w≥4; perhaps you were still thinking about domains with square roots. Try thinking about the domain of 1/x, or where it is undefined, and then think about the domain of (2x+3)/(w-4) again.

I can't quite make out your answer for the domain of 51, but it doesn't look right. But let's look at what you have with (y + 1)(y - 3)≥0. You know where the parabola crosses the x-axis and that it opens upward since the leading coefficient is positive. What part(s) of the graph will be above the x-axis, or ≥0?

As Bohrok said, if the domain was all real numbers for √(-1-s), it would be incorrect. Say s is equal to 2. -1-2 = -3. √-3 is an imaginary number. You want to make sure whatever is under the square root bracket is equal to 0 or more.
 
53. x^2-4x+5 and x^2+2x+3 can't be factor the way you did.

The domain for f(x) = √x is x >= 0.

I hit the wrong two-key combination instead of Ctrl-V. :redface: Corrected.
 
46 )
1-s ≥ 0
-s ≥ - 1

47) i think domain all real numer

51 ) please i want the answer

No. Start with -1 -s ≥ 0
You should end up with an inequality that involves s, not -s. Review the rules for working with inequalities if needed.

No. There is one real number that isn't in the domain of this function.

For this function to be defined, it must be that y2 -2y - 3 ≥ 0.
Factor the left hand side into two linear factors. For the product of the two factors to be ≥ 0, both factors have to be ≥ 0, or both have to be <= 0. Each case will produce its own set of numbers.
