( x – 5 )^1/2 is the same as sqrt(x-5)
sqrt is shorthand for "square root"
With square roots, we cannot have the stuff inside be negative
x-5 cannot be negative. So force it to be either 0 or a positive value. I.e,
isolate x and we get
Which is the domain. It's the set of allowed x values we can plug in. We can plug in 5 for x or any number that is larger than 5.
The domain in set builder notation would look like this
In interval notation, the domain is written like this
