Question

if \\(f(x) = \sqrt{x-3}\\), which inequality can be used to find the domain of \\(f(x)\\)?

  • \\(\sqrt{x-3} \ge 0\\)
  • \\(x-3 \ge 0\\)
  • \\(\sqrt{x-3} \le 0\\)
  • \\(x-3 \le 0\\)

Explanation:

Identify the condition for a real square root

$$ \text{For } \sqrt{g(x)} \text{ to be defined in the real numbers, we must have } g(x) \ge 0 $$

Apply the condition to the given function

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\sqrt{x-3} \ge 0\)
  • (B) \(x-3 \ge 0\) (Correct answer)
  • (C) \(\sqrt{x-3} \le 0\)
  • (D) \(x-3 \le 0\)
