Question

What is the domain of the function y=√x?

Answer 1

Answer:

[0, ∞)

(all real numbers greater than or equal to 0)

Explanation:

the domain of a function is all possible x-values (and the range is all possible y-values)

We know that you cannot have a negative square root, so all negative x-values are not possible--only values 0 to infinity.

So the domain of this function is [0, ∞).

{ [brackets] in math mean the number is included, (parentheses) in math means the number is not included.}

All [real] numbers ≥ 0

is the domain of y=√x

(written as: all real numbers greater than or equal to 0)
