domain is infinite.
√ x−4 ,
In this equation x-4 could not be a negative
value so for that x should be greater then 4 or equal
to. Domain is X ≥ 4
2 x−3
√ x +3 , Now try yourself.
should not produce 0 because it is fraction and
√ x+ 3
also no negative value because it is Under root so x
domain will be x>-3
√ x +3
2
x −25 , x^2-25 can also be written as (x+5)(x-5), Since
it is a fraction it should not produce 0, if we try 5
then 5+5=10 but 5-5=0 so it cannot be 5 thus x
should be less than 5 or greater than 5. So it will be
x>5 or x<5 but not 5.
Also √x+3 should not produce a negative value
because it is under root so we need to look in both
equation. √ x+ 3domain will be x>-3 but since x cannot
be 4 and 5 also then the most suitable domain will be
x >5 or -3<x<5 because any value is also good
between -3 and 5.
