The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable for which the function is defined. The square root function is defined for all non-negative real numbers. So, ...
The domain of
y = √x
is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero. (x ≥ 0)
_____
In some cases, there may be other limits on the domain of a function. A function may be defined for all values of mass, for example, but is of no practical use for values of mass greater than the mass of the known universe (or planet Earth, perhaps).
Clean up the equation with x first and x=12.
Substitute this value in to the other equation to solve for y.
You should get a solution of (12,-8)
Charlottes family has eaten 24 ounces (Out of 32 Ounces) of cheese so far.
You need to find the Greatest Common Factor between the 2 numbers:
10: 1, 2, 5 , 10
15: 1, 3, 5, 15
The greatest common factor is 5, so they can make 5 Groups
Each group would contain 15/5 = 3 boys and 10/5 = 2 girls.
