Domain Range Function

1. Find the domain of the function, f(x) = −√−4𝑥 + 5
Answer: All real values of xx ≤ 1.25
Solution:
F(x) = - -4x+5 (Original Function)
F(x) is defined if -4x + 5 ≥ 0
-4x ≥ -5 (Subtract 5 from both sides.)
4x ≤ 5 (Divide by -1.)
X ≤ 1.25 (Divide by 4 on both sides.)
So, the domain is all real values of x less than or equal to 1.25.

2. Find the domain of the function: y=
√2−𝑥

Answer: (-∞, 2)
Solution:
Y=12-x (Original Function)
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
=> 2-x > 0
=> 2 > 0 (Add x on both sides)
So, the domain of the function is (-∞, 2)
3. Find the domain of the function f(x) =√7𝑥 − 8
8
Answer: (7,∞)

Solution:
F(x) = 7x-8 (Original Function)
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
7x-8 ≥ 0
7x ≥ 8 (Add 8 on both sides)
8
x≥ (Divide by 7 on both sides)

8
So, the domain of the function is ( , ∞)
