42. ∵ x2 0
∴ x2 + 3 3
The value of x2 + 3 under the radical sign will not
be negative for any real number x.
∴ The domain is all real numbers.
47. For x2 + 8x = 0,
x(x + 8) = 0
x = 0 or x = –8
∵ The value of the denominator x2 + 8x cannot
be 0.
∴ x2 + 8x 0
x 0 and x –8
∴ The domain is all real numbers except 0 and –8.
48. For x2 – 9 = 0,
(x + 3)(x – 3) = 0
x = –3 or x = 3
∵ The value of the denominator x2 – 9 cannot
be 0.
∴ x2 – 9 0
x –3 and x 3
∴ The domain is all real numbers except –3 and 3.
49. For x2 + 5x – 6 = 0,
(x + 6)(x – 1) = 0
x = –6 or x = 1
∵ The value of the denominator x2 + 5x – 6
cannot be 0.
∴ x2 + 5x – 6 0
x –6 and x 1
∴ The domain is all real numbers except –6 and 1.
50. For x2 + 8x + 16 = 0,
(x + 4)2 = 0
x = –4 (repeated)
∵ The value of the denominator x2 + 8x + 16
cannot be 0.
∴ x2 + 8x + 16 0
x –4
∴ The domain is all real numbers except –4.

52. For , the value of the denominator x cannot be
x
0, i.e. x 0.
For x , the value of x under the radical sign
cannot be negative, i.e. x 0.
∴ x>0
∴ The domain is all real numbers greater than 0.
