You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[The radican (5-x) must be greater than or equal to zero because you cannot find the square root of a negative number. If the radicand is negative, it is an imaginary number.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "g(x)=(sqrt)5-x [Set 5-x>=0]
\n" ); document.write( "5-x>=0 [solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "5>=x or x<=5 [Same value]
\n" ); document.write( "Than, the domain or all of the possible values for \"x\", must be less than or equal to 5. Try a test case. Pick the numbers 4 and 6.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%284%29=%28sqrt%285-4%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%284%29=%28sqrt%281%29%29\" = 1 [OK]
\n" ); document.write( "4<=5 [This is a true statement]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%286%29=%28sqrt%285-6%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%286%29=%28sqrt%285-6%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%286%29=%28sqrt%28-1%29%29\" [imaginary number]
\n" ); document.write( "So, 6<=5 is a false statement.\r
