We have the following function:
So if we graph this function we will get the Figure below. Thus, let's study both the equation and the graph to get some conclusions. Therefore, we can assure these statements:
First. The function is defined only for
as shown in the Figure. This is also true because of 
where 
must be greater (or equal) than zero.
Second. The range of the function are the values of
.
Third. If creases then 
always creases, too.
