-5x - 8 = -18
-5x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8
-5x = -10
-5x / (-5) = -10 / (-5)
x = 2

Find the domain of the function f(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%5E3-16x%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x^3

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x^3-16x}$

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.

In other words,

Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

Now, determine non-negative values for radicals so that we can sort out the domain values for which the function can be defined.

$x^3-16x\ge 0$

as x³ - 16x ≥ 0

$\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0$

Thus, identifying the intervals:

$-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4$

Thus,

The domain of the function f(x) is:

$x\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)\ge \:0\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:-4\le \:x\le \:0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x\ge \:4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left[-4,\:0\right]\cup \:[4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}$

And the Least Value of the domain is -4.
