Question

find the domain of the function

Answer 1

@dumbcow

Answer 2

please show me how you work it out!!

Answer 3

domain is greater than 1 but not 4

Answer 4

thats it, thats the final answer?

Answer 5

you mean greater than 1 less than 4?

Answer 6

no. greater than one except 4

Answer 7

thats the answer?

Answer 8

yeah

Answer 9

thanks, mind if i ask you one more?

Answer 10

set denominator equal to 0
--> x^2 -2x = 0
--> x(x-2) = 0

these give you the domain restrictions for this function

Answer 11

so it would be 0?

Answer 12

also, could you check out that previous question, i dont think his answer is correct, thank you :)

Answer 13

@dumbcow

Answer 14

no he is correct...
s-4 = 0
s = 4

s-1 >= 0
s >= 1

therefore domain is s>= 1 and s not equal 4

Answer 15

you have to solve for x

--> x(x-2) = 0
--> x =0 and x-2=0
--> x=0 and x = 2

therefore domain is x is not equal to 0 or 2

Answer 16

ohhh i get it now! :) thanks. hey can you help me with this last one?

Answer 17

evaluate the function at the specified values of the independent variable and simplify

Answer 18

just plug in the input in the appropriate function based on the domain.
if input value is less than or equal to 1, use top function
if input is greater than 1, use bottom function

Answer 19

can you show me step by step, im a visual person

Answer 20

haha no that would basically give you the answer wouldn't it

Answer 21

here you go...a visual
