Question 369593: FIND THE DOMAIN OF THE FUNCTION
f(x)= 4/ square root of x - 9
"f(x) equals 4 divided by the square root of x - 9"
The answer is x > 9.
But I keep getting the answer- x is greater than OR EQUAL to 9.
What am i doing wrong?? HELP PLEASE.

The domain of the function is all the x values for which is defined.
The square root function is defined as long as the argument is not negative.


Division by zero is also undefined so the x value when the denominator equals zero is not in the domain.

So both of those must hold: x must be greater than or equal to 9 and x cannot equal 9, so that leaves that

Domain: or in interval notation, (,)
