Example Question #1 : Gre Subject Test: Math
What is the domain of
?
Step 1: We need to determine what kind of function we have here. We have a rational function.
Step 2: Since we have a rational function, the denominator cannot be equal to . We will equal the denominator to and find the values of that make the bottom zero.
Square both sides:
Add to both sides of the equal sign:
Simplify:
Take the square root of both sides
However, we said earlier that these two solutions cannot be values of x, so we must change the sign:
Step 3: We need to write the solution in interval notation form.
The smallest number we can plug in for is , and the biggest is . cannot be and , but it can be anything else. So, we should have three intervals:
1) Between and , which is written as
2) Between and , which is written as
3) Between and , which is written as
The full solution in interval notation is .

The surface area of a cube is the total outside area of that cube. The formula to find the Area of a cube is
.A cube has a side length of at least
inches. The surface area is a function of side length. What is the domain (side length) and the range (surface area)?The independent variable is the length of the side. The domain consists of numbers that represent the length of sides. The problem states that the length of the sides is at least
inches. So, the domain is all numbers greater than or equal to four.
The range consists of the numbers that corresponds with the chosen
values in a function.To find the range, find the Area of the cube with the length of the side measuring
inches; this is the smallest value that (or the side length measurement), can be equal to.
The correct answer is

For a function
defined by an expression with variable the domain of is the set of all real numbers that the variable can take such that the expression defining the function is real.The expression defining function contains a square root.
.
The domain is the set of all first elements of ordered pairs or
Because there cannot be a negative inside the radical sign, set the inside of the radical
and solve. The expression under the radical has to satisfy the condition for the function to take real values.Solve:
Subtract
from both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by
.
Because you are dividing both sides of the equation by a negative integer
this will change the sign from to .
The domain or d is all
