Question 1210376: find the domain and range of f(x) = (x)/(sqrt(1 - ((sqrt(- x)))^2)) Found 2 solutions by mccravyedwin, Edwin McCravy:Answer by mccravyedwin(406) (Show Source):
find the domain and range of
x cannot be positive but can be 0. The denominator is always positive.
So the value of f is never positive but can be 0 when x=0.
What is under the radical in the denominator must be positive, not negative or
0. Remember that -x can never be negative.
Remember again that -x is non-negative.
and since x is never positive but can be 0,
the domain is
We set the denominator = 0 to find the vertical asymptote:
Remember that -x is non-negative.
So the vertical asymptote is , indicated by the green line.
The domain is
The range is

Notice that I have added something to the above answer. This part:
What is under the radical in the denominator must be positive, not negative or
0. Remember that -x can never be negative.
Remember again that -x is non-negative.
and since x is never positive but can be 0,
the domain is
