Answer:
[-1, ∞ )
Step-by-step explanation:
The use of parentheses is essential here. I am assuming that you meant:
y=√(x-5) - 1
Note that √(x-5) has the range [0, ∞ ). The domain is [5, ∞ ).
Thus, y=√(x-5) - 1 has the range [-1, ∞ )

<span>You would have to wait 318 years for 1/5 (20%) of the Radium to disappear. 1590 is the point where half of the Radium would decay, so if you take 20% of that, it would equate out to 318 years. Radium has a long half life!</span>
