What is domain restrictions and what causes them?

8 0

Domain restrictions are values of x which are not acceptable in a function.

They may be arbitrary because we simply want to ignore them. eg y = x^2 between 0 and 4

They may make no sense in the context, eg graph a compounding investment over next 20 years.
Negative values for x make sense here.

They may avoid mathematical impossibilities eg y = (x^2 - 4x) / (x - 4) which must avoid dividing by zero, so x cannot = 4.
The graph will look like the line y = x but have a hole where x= 4

Which equation could be used to find the height of the flagpole?

Andrew [12]

Given a fragpole which makes a right angle with the point of observation with the angle of elevation as 50°.

Let x be the height of the flagpole, then

$\sin50^o= \frac{x}{5}$

Therefore, the <span>equation that could be used to find the height of the flagpole is
</span><span>x/5 = sin 50</span>

To determine whether the inverse of a function is a function you can perform the horizontal line test.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{TRUE}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function in all places at exactly one point (the horizontal line test), the inverse of the function is also a function.

For example, the inverse of a hyperbola (like ƒ(x) =1/x) is a function, because every horizontal line intersects with the graph at exactly one point.

However, the inverse of a parabola (like ƒ(x) = x²) is not a function, because a horizontal line intersects with the graph at two points.
