Find the domain f(z)=1/fourth root of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(z)=1/\sqrt[4]{x}\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what does x have to be ? well it needs to not be negative because of the 4th root, and it should not be 0 because then you would be dividing by 0. So x cant be negative and cant be 0, so x>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get that but it says f(z) not f(x) so does that not matter @zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it must be a typo?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that notation does not make sense unless they told you what the form of x. If the function is defined as it is, then it is assumed that x is positive. Thus if z is the variable, we have f(z) = a number, so the domain would be all real numbers, but I have never seen notation this ambiguous and I think it is a typo.

ok that's what i thought too
