what is the lower bound (minimum) of the domain of f(x)=sqrt(x^2-25)

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

\(x^{2} - 25 \ge 0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup...Use the above condition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got [5,inf) but they said wrong why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+5) (x-5) > = 0 (-infinity,5] U [5,infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to check for both the conditions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no need ti take negatives only +ve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question asks for lower bound minimum right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i know how to find it but they said wrong

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

The problem statement appears to want ONLY the lower bound, not a whole range or any other description. The correct answer to this is "There is no Lower Bound".
