Can you check my work please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the domain and range of: \[y=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{4-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Domain: \[\sqrt{x} = 0\] then x is greater than or equal to 0 \[\sqrt{4-x}\] then x is less than or equal to 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore, Domain is [0, 4]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Range: ???? [2] ????

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, very very good !!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i've got confused on the range :(

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

What about the range, it is not just 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... i used 0 and 4 but ended up with "2"... so....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{blue }{ \rm y=\sqrt{x} +\sqrt{4-x} }\) \(\large\color{ green }{ \rm y=\sqrt{0} +\sqrt{4-0} ~~~~-->~~y=2 }\) \(\large\color{ red }{ \rm y=\sqrt{1} +\sqrt{4-1} ~~~~-->~~y=\sqrt{3}+1 }\) \(\large\color{ red }{ \rm y=\sqrt{3} +\sqrt{4-3} ~~~~-->~~y=\sqrt{3}+1 }\) \(\large\color{blue }{ \rm y=\sqrt{4} +\sqrt{4-4} ~~~~-->~~y=2 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{blue }{ \rm y=\sqrt{2} +\sqrt{4-2} ~~~~-->~~y=\sqrt{2}+2 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Range ` [ 1 + √3 , 2 + √2 ] `

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

excuse me sir... just a question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

about \[y=\sqrt{2}+2\] wouldn't it be \[y=2\sqrt{2}\] ??? since squareroot of 2 plus squareroot of 2 is 2 sqaure root of 2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, if x=2, then 2√2. My bad

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, range ` [ 1 + √3 , 2√2 ] `

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see :D thank you very much sir

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

If I was sir, then I would not have made that mistake-:9 just a teenager .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>_< hahah. it's ok. nobody's perfect everyone can make a mistake

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

true :)
