first off, let's notice the graph touches the x-axis at -1 and 3, namely, those are the zeros/solutions/roots of the polynomial and therefore, the factors come from those points.
now, at -1, the graph doesn't cross the x-axis, instead it <u>simply bounces off</u> of it, that means the zero of x = -1, has an even multiplicity, could be 4 or 2 or 6, but let's go with 2.
at x = 3, the graph does cross the x-axis, meaning it has an odd multiplicity, could be 3 or 1, or 7 or 9, but let's use 1.
Answer:
x >= -7 ................(1a)
x >= 3 ...............(2a1)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = .............(0)
find the domain.
To find the (real) domain, we need to ensure that each term remains a real number.
which means the following conditions must be met
x+7 >= 0 .....................(1)
AND
x^2+2x-15 >= 0 ..........(2)
To satisfy (1), x >= -7 .....................(1a) by transposition of (1)
To satisfy (2), we need first to find the roots of (2)
factor (2)
(x+5)(x-3) >= 0
This implis
(x+5) >= 0 AND (x-3) >= 0.....................(2a)
OR
(x+5) <= 0 AND (x-3) <= 0 ...................(2b)
(2a) is satisfied with x >= 3 ...............(2a1)
(2b) is satisfied with x <= -5 ................(2b1)
Combine the conditions (1a), (2a1), and (2b1),
x >= -7 ................(1a)
AND
(
x >= 3 ...............(2a1)
OR
x <= -5 ................(2b1)
)
which expands to
(1a) and (2a1) OR (1a) and (2b1)
( x >= -7 and x >= 3 ) OR ( x >= -7 and x <= -5 )
Simplifying, we have
x >= 3 OR ( -7 <= x <= -5 )
Referring to attached figure, the domain is indicated in dark (purple), the red-brown and white regions satisfiy only one of the two conditions.
