Find the domain of the function 16-x24.
a.
[- 4, 0)
b.
(- 4, 4]
c.
[- 4, 4]
d.
[0, 4]
e.
[4, ]
Solution:
f(x) = 16-x24
[Original function.]
Set 16 - x2 greater than or equal to zero to make the expression under the fourth root, positive.
16 - x2 0, so x2 - 16 0
(x - 4)(x + 4) 0
[Factor the left side of the inequality.]
x - 4 and x 4
So, the domain of the function is [- 4, 4].
2.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = - -4x+5.
a.
All real values of x
Solution:
b.
c.
d.
e.
f(x) = - -4x+5
[Original function.]
f(x) is defined if - 4x + 5 0
- 4x - 5
[Subtract 5 from both sides.]
4x 5
[Divide by - 1.]
x 1.25
[Divide by 4 on both sides.]
So, the domain is all real values of x less than or equal to 1.25.
3.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = x+6x2+10x+9.
a.
(- , - 9) (- 1, )
b.
[- 9, - 1]
c.
(- 9, - 1) (- 1, )
d.
(- , - 9) (- 9, - 1)
e.
(- , - 9) (- 9, - 1) (- 1, )
Solution:
f(x) = x+6x2+10x+9
[Original function.]
f (x) = x+6(x+9)(x+1)
[Factor the denominator.]
Set the denominator equal to zero to solve for x.
(x + 9) (x + 1) = 0
x = - 9, x = - 1
That is f(x) is not defined at x = - 9 and at x = - 1
So, the domain of the function is (- , - 9) (- 9, - 1) (- 1, ).

b.
Solution:
f(x) = 2x+3|7x+6|
[Original function.]
Set the denominator equal to zero to solve for x.
7x + 6 = 0
x=-6/7
That is f(x) is not defined at x = - 6 / 7.
So, the domain of the function f is (- , - 6 / 7) (- 6 / 7, ).

d.
[- 10, 10]
e.
(- , - 10) (10, )
Solution:
f (x) = 8x2-3x2-10
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
x2 - 10 > 0
(x - 10)(x + 10) > 0
[Factor the left side of the inequality.]
x < - 10 or x > 10
So, the domain of the function is (- , - 10) (10, ).
6.

a.
[78, )
b.
[- 87, )
c.
[87, )
d.
(87, ]
e.
(87, )
Solution:
f(x) = 7x-8
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
7x - 8 0
7x 8
[Add 8 on both sides.]
x8/7
[Divide by 7 on both sides.]
So, the domain of the function is [8 / 7, ).
7.

a.
[- , 2]
b.
(2, )
c.
[- , 2)
d.
(- , - 2) (- 2, )
(- , 2)
e.
Solution:
y = 12-x
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
2-x>0
2>x
[Add x on both sides.]
So, the domain of the function is (- , 2).

b.
[211, ]
c.
(- , - 211)

e.
(211, )
Solution:
f (x) = (11x-2)54
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the fourth root, positive.
11x - 2 0
x 2 / 11
The domain of the function is [2 / 11, ).
9.

[- 94, - 23]
Solution:
f (x) = 9-4x3x-2
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root in the numerator, positive.
9 - 4x 0
x9/4
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root in the denominator, positive.
3x - 2 > 0
x>2/3
So, the domain of the function is (2 / 3, 9 / 4].

(- , 4) (4, )
(0, )
c.
(- , 0) (0, )
[4, ]
d.
e.
Solution:
The y-coordinates of the points on the graph are all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
So, the range of the function is [0, ).
11.

a.
(- 8, 8)
b.
c.
(- , 8) (8, )
d.
(- , - 8) (- 8, 8) (8, )
e.
(- , - 8) (- 8, 8)
Solution:
f(x) = |x - 8|
[Original Function.]
f(x) is defined for all real values of x.
[f(x) is an absolute value function.]
So, the domain of the function is the set of all real numbers.
12.

a.
All real values of x except 1
b.
c.
d.
(- , - 1) (- 1, 1)
e.
Solution:
f(x) = - x6 + 1
[Original Function.]
As there in no real number x such that f(x) is not defined.
[f(x) is a polynomial function.]
So, the domain of the function is 'all real values of x'.
13.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = log2 (8 - x).
a.
all real values greater 8
b.
[- 8, 8]
c.
d.
e.
Solution:
f(x) = log2 (8 - x)
[Original function.]
f(x) is defined, if (8 - x) is positive.
[Logarithmic function is defined only for positive real numbers.]
8-x>0
8-x-8>0-8
[Subtract 8 from each side.]
-x>-8
x<8
So, the domain of the function is all real values less than 8.
14.

a.
All real numbers less than - 11
b.

f(x) = log2 (x + 11)2
[Original logarithmic function.]
Logarithmic function is defined only for positive real numbers, so x + 11 0
[(x + 11)2 0]
x - 11
So, the domain of the function is all real numbers except - 11.
15.

Solution:
f(x) = 5-xx+8,
[Original Function.]
The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero but the numerator can be zero.
x+80
x-8
So, the domain of the function is all real numbers except - 8.
The domain can be written in interval notation as, (- , - 8) (- 8, ).

Solution:
f (x) = 9xx2-4x-12
[Original Function.]
Set the expression in the denominator equal to zero to find the values of x that are to be excluded
from the domain.
x2 - 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
[Factor the quadratic equation.]
x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
[Zero product property.]
x = 6 or x = - 2
[Solve for x.]
So, the domain is {x | x 6, x - 2}.
