Hi! Anyone know domain? The domains of 5x^(2/3) and -9x^(2/3)? Thanks (: Hi! Anyone know domain? The domains of 5x^(2/3) and -9x^(2/3)? Thanks (: @Mathematics

Try graphing them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to know if it's real numbers, or all non negetive real numbers, its kinda complicated and no one has answered me since yesterday. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain fo 5x^(2/3) is R because x can be anything And the same goes for -9x^(2/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that 2/3 as an exponent is merely the cube root of something squared The cube root is defined for both negative and positive numbers. Thus xER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah :) And one more...for the numbers 5x^(6/5) and 3x^(4/5) would it also be all real #'s? But i think for 5x^(6/5) it would be all positive #'s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^(6/5) = xER as well because it is just saying the fifth root of something to the power of six. All odd roots can take both negative and positive numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The same is true for 3x^(3/5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^(4/5) *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so their domains are all real #?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only when the root is even (i.e. square root), does the domain restrict x to all positive numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, thank you so much! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anytime :)
