It's a polynomial. What do you think?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it (-infinity, -9) and (9, infinity)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the expretion under square root can't be negative, do x^2-81>=0, or x^2>=81
can you finish this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f(x)= \sqrt{x^2-81}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer would be 9?

no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Anytime you take the squareroot of a number it equals positive and negative of that integer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(-infinity, -9] and [9, infinity)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so includes the -9 and 9 thank you!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

Oh, I didn't notice the "square root of."
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but @ParthKohli is right, because in the set I, it would be ok all R as domain
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you very much to help me understand! wasn't sure if my answer was right or wrong! thank you!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try this one to see if u understood the concept fully
\[f(x) = \sqrt{81-x^2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that would be [-9,9]
