Question 507081: find the domain of f(x)= sqrt{x^2 - 36}

The domain is all the values that x is allowed to take by the rules of algebra.
.
The rules of algebra say that you cannot take the square root of a negative number.
.
Therefore the quantity for which you are trying to find a square root must be zero or positive.
.
This means that is allowed to be zero or positive (greater than zero). So we can write:
.
.
Add 36 to both sides of this inequality to eliminate the -36 on the left side. The inequality becomes:
.
.
Take the square root of both sides to find that:
.
.
.
Therefore the domain of x is that x is allowed to take the value +6 and any other positive value greater than +6. This is the answer to this problem.
.
Hope this helps you to understand this problem better.
