Answer:
<em>The domain of f is (-∞,4)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Domain of a Function</u>
The domain of a function f is the set of all the values that the input variable can take so the function exists.
We are given the function
It's a rational function which denominator cannot be 0. In the denominator, there is a square root whose radicand cannot be negative, that is, 4-x must be positive or zero, but the previous restriction takes out 0 from the domain, thus:
4 - x > 0
Subtracting 4:
- x > -4
Multiplying by -1 and swapping the inequality sign:
x < 4
Thus the domain of f is (-∞,4)
I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like: 
. The first thing to do is to move the 
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this: 
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
