SUMMARY
The function f(x) = sin(sqrt(x)) is defined for all values of x that make sqrt(x) a real number. This means x must be greater than or equal to 0, as the square root function is only defined for non-negative values. The sine function, sin(t), is defined for all real numbers t, thus the only restriction on f(x) comes from the square root component. Therefore, the function f(x) is defined for x in the interval [0, ∞).
