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.
