What is the domain of F in the problem ____ F(x)= Ö2x+3 ? ----------------------------------------------------- The domain of F is the set of all real numbers that can be substituted in the right side if F(x) and a real number will result. In algebraic equations the only forbidden operations are 1. denominators may not equal 0 2. square roots (or 4th, 6th 8th roots, or any roots of even index) may not be taken of negative numbers. Since 2x+3 is under a square root, it may not be negative, which means it is either positive or 0. "Positive" means "greater than zero", so it's "greater than or equal to zero". 2x + 3 > 0 2x > -3 x > -3/2 So the domain of F is [-3/2, ¥) Edwin
