What is the excluded value for the radical function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where sqrt(x) x<0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x+5<0 are excluded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4x+5 are the excluded values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything that makes that less than 0 is exluded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHY? cuzz if you look as sqrt(x) as the inverse of x^2 then there is really no number less than 0 which will satisfy sqrt(-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*AT not as lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DO you think Gengar cares about medals :P

@timo86m Ok, so then it is the right answer..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feed on your dreams ;) Dream eater :D

@timo86m It's a nice day to troll some newbies, isn't it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not trolling!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think about what sqrt of x means @carolinamarissa ? It means what 2 same numbers multiply together to get x? like sqrt of 9= 3 cuz 3 and 3 multiply together to make 9. in other words 3*3=9 sqrt 9=3 however if you have sqrt -9 then no number exists where you can do that. infact no number exist for any negitive number. so you got 4x+5 4x+5 < 0 as soon as left hand side gets under zero then you are breaking the rules so therefore we solve. 4x < -5 x< -5/4 seems to be the answer. Unless I id a careless mistake.

@timo86m thank you so much! :)
