What is domain restrictions and what causes them?

1 answer:

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

The league championship 800 meter race has 6 runners.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The league championship 800 meter race has 6 runners.

The number of positions = 3

Since order matters here , so we use Permutation.

The permutation of n things taking r at a time is given by :-

$^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Then, the number of different ways they place first, second, and third :_

$^6P_3=\dfrac{6!}{(6-3)!}=\dfrac{6\times5\times4\times3!}{3!}=120$

Hence, they can place first, second, and third in 120 different ways .

In this fulcrum, for the weights to be balance, what do the distances d1 and d2 have to be if the overall length is 12 feet?

mel-nik [20]

For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
