Mike drank more than half the juice in his glass. what fraction of the juice could Mike have drunk?
2 answers:
He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.
First, lets find equivalents of 1/2
If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.
2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4
3/4 is greater than 1/2
Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice
4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice
5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.
Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions

Remember that the radicand (the area under the root sign) must be positive or zero for a radical with an even index (like the square root or fourth root, for example). This is because two numbers squared or to the fourth power, etc. cannot be negative, so there are no real solutions when the radicand is negative. We must restrict the domain of the square-root function.
If the domain has already been restricted to
, we can work backwards to add 11 to both sides. We see that 
must be under the radicand, so the answer is A.
