Answer: [A]: The domain is: _________________________________ {x | 1 ≤ x < 5} . ________________________________________
Note: The answer choices given for "A" and "B" are the same; you meant to type: _________________________ [A]: {x | 1 ≤ x < 5} ; _________________________ [B]: {x | 1 < x < 5} ; __________________________ I know this from the answer choices given in the "image/figure" you have attached. Since: " {x | 1 ≤ x < 5} " __________________________________________ is the correct answer, I just need to remind you to be sure to know that the " ≤ " is the appropriate sign. __________________________________________________
First of all, it asks for domain, which is allowed x values.
So immediately we can rule out last 2 answer choices.
If you look at the graph, the allowed x values are from 1 to 5.
<u>Note: </u><u>closed circle</u><u> means that number </u><u>is included</u><u> and </u><u>open circle</u><u> means that number is </u><u>NOT included</u>
Now we see that 1 has closed circle so 1 is included and there is an open circle at 5, so 5 is NOT included.
