Calculating Range of a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = \sqrt{x-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can do the domain but not the range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help please @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

I gtg so.. @austinL

OpenStudy (austinl):

Graph the function and look at the values that it takes of y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did that, but the problem said to solve for it first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??? I can solve for domain but not range

Find the derivative of the following via implicit differentiation: d/dx(f(x)) = d/dx(x-1---(-(-sqrt(x)))) Rewrite the expression: d/dx(f(x)) = d/dx(f(x)): d/dx(f(x)) = d/dx(-sqrt(x)+x) The derivative of f(x) is f'(x): f'(x) = d/dx(-sqrt(x)+x) Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants: f'(x) = d/dx(x)-d/dx(sqrt(x)) Use the power rule, d/dx(x^n) = n x^(n-1), where n = 1/2: d/dx(sqrt(x)) = d/dx(x^(1/2)) = x^(-1/2)/2: f'(x) = d/dx(x)-1/(2 sqrt(x)) The derivative of x is 1: f'(x) = -1/(2 sqrt(x))+1 Expand the left hand side: Answer: | | f'(x) = 1-1/(2 sqrt(x))

I don't know derivatives yet. sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh =(
