Finding the Domain of a Square Root Function
Consider the function f(x) = 5x - 5+1
Which inequality is used to find the domain?
5x-420
5x - 5+120
5x20
5x -520
DONE

Respuesta :

Answer:

The inequality is [tex]5x-5\geq 0[/tex] or [tex]x\geq 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Consider the function f(x)=sqrt(5x-5)+1 which inequality is used to find the domain?

we know that

The square root function is defined only for the positive values including 0.

we have

[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{5x-5}+1[/tex]

so

The term inside the square root must be greater than or equal to zero

[tex]5x-5\geq 0[/tex]

solve for x

Factor 5

[tex]5(x-1)\geq 0[/tex]

Simplify

[tex](x-1)\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 1[/tex]

The value of x must be greater than or equal to 1
