Anyone willing to help me study some math for my exam tomorrow? Please and Thank you:) (I will ask questions below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll help if I can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to know how to find the Domain for this equation. \[f(x)=\sqrt{13-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure but what kind of math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

College Algebra:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure then you need help on finding the domain? How would you start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By taking the square root off?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmm yes and no, so finding the domain just really means finding the range of x's where y is a real number right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How could I begin by doing that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what can't be under the sqrt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Negatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct so in other words: \[13 - x > 0\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it not \[13-x \ge0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry yes you are correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, \[13-x \ge 0\] subtract -13both sides, I get -13 and then divide it by -1 which would be positive 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will my sign change to less than? like this >
