When taking square roots, you can't take square roots of negative roots of negative numbers. So, what will work for the domain of u(x) is what makes u(x) zero or more. We can make an inequality for that.
u(x) ≥ 0.
9x + 27 ≥ 0 by squaring both sides
9x ≥ -27
x ≥ -3
So the domain of the function is when x ≥ -3 is true.
Answer:
9.14 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Assuming the diagram attached, is similar to diagram required to support the question,
From the diagram,
Applying pythagoras theorem
a² = b²+c²...................... Equation 1
Where a = 13.4 in, b = x in, c = 9.8 in.
Substitute these values into equation 1
13.4² = x²+9.8²
x² = 13.4²-9.8²
x² = 179.56-96.04
x² = 83.52
x = √(83.52)
x = 9.14 inches
Hence the distance between the rods is 9.14 inches
