Question 549530: √((x-1) (x+2)^2)÷(x-3)
how to find the domain of this function?

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The domain is the set of all numbers that can be substituted for x
such that the result will be a defined value.

The dominator must not be 0, so we must not have x-3 = 0 or x = 3
So the domain must leave out 3

There also must be no negative numbers under the square root.
There is no concern about the (x+2)² because even if x+2 were negative,
its square would be positive.  So we only have to require that x-1 be ≧ 0,
which gives x ≧ 1, so the domain on a number line is

and in interval notation is
