f(x)= radical x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\sqrt{x-6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The function is continous on the interval _____?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it asking you to solve iy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determine where the function f(x) is continous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats all the information I have!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is continuous on its domain, so they are really asking for the domain of \[f(x)=\sqrt{x-6}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Hint: \[\Large f(x)=\sqrt{x-k}\] is continuous on the interval [k, infinity) because x-k >= 0 x >= k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[-6,infinity) is where the function is continous?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in this case, k = 6, so it's really [6, infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what @jim_thompson5910 said you cannot take the square root of a negative number, so what you really need to solve is \[x-6\geq 0\] in one step to find your domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh, see stupid mistake! My brain feels fried!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's ok, silly mistake
