The domain of any function is the set of real numbers for which the function is defined. So figure out which numbers would make undefined, then the domain is all the rest of the real numbers.

The restriction here is due to the square root of x. Since you cannot have a square root of a negative, it is necessary that +x%3E=0. Domain in interval notation is [0, inf).

For additional explanation on FUNCTIONS, DOMAIN, and RANGE, please see my own website. The easiest way to find it is to use the easy to spell and easy to remember link www.mathinlivingcolor.com. On this single page website, there is a link at the bottom of the page that takes you to my Homepage. Near the top of my homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time", and choose either Intemediate Algebra (Chapter 5), or College Algebra (Chapter 2). There you will find explanations that may be easier to understand than your traditional textbooks, and many of the exercises from these sections are solved in color on the "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages that go with these sections. There are also VIDEOS of me teaching this topic a few years before I retired. These videos are FREE, and you can see them by looking on my Homepage for the link "Rapalje Videos in Living Color."

If you like my website, please tell your friends and family. It's all FREE. You can contact me by Email at rapaljer@seminolestate.edu.
