domain of the function 1/sqrt(15x + 12) pls
Domain: Generally think of All Real Numbers and then see if you have to throw out anything. Common "throw-outs" are these. What makes a denominator zero? Logarithms need positive arguments. Even roots need non-negative arguments. Various other things, but these will do for this problem. What say you? What shall we discard?
is it [78,inf)?
No. Far too much has been discarded. Tell me how you managed that result?
15x+12=0 15x=-12 x=-12/15
is it (-12/15,inf) then?
That is correct, but it is not a logical conclusion from your work. You need 15x + 12 > 0 This leads to x > -12/15 and is logically translated to \(\left(-\dfrac{12}{15},\infty\right)\)
thanks very much
what about this\[\sqrt[3]{t-78}\] what is the domain in interval notation please
