Square roots cannot be negative so the interval will have to start at...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how they gave me the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i meant x cannot be negative. This means that \[x \ge ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That will be the lower bound of your interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's \[f(x) = \sqrt{x - 6}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so \[x-6 \ge ?\] considering that we cannot take the square root of a negative number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the lower part of the interval you must find where the x values start right? As there is a square root We cannot use negative values of x-6. This means that \[x-6 \ge 0\] and \[x \ge 6\] This is where the function's domain starts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain will go up to infinity however does not include infinity so make sure you use the right interval sign.\[[6,\infty)\]

sorry got to go hope that helped :/
