please help!
Domain and range of:
a. f(x)= 1/x+3
b. g(x)= sqrt(x+6)

also h(x)= x^3+2x+5
rishavraj (rishavraj):
is it
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x + 3 }~~~~~or ~~~~~~\frac{ 1 }{ x } + 3\]
rishavraj (rishavraj):
if its \[\frac{ 1 }{ x + 3 }\]
then the denominator can't be zero.
i.e.\[x + 3 \neq 0\]
so \[x \neq -3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thanks! what about range? and the other ones

rishavraj (rishavraj):
did u get the domain ????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for which one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got the first one! @rishavraj
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and i think i got sqrt(x+3) but i'm not sure
rishavraj (rishavraj):
the functn in sqrt can't be negative....
so
\[x + 3 \ge 0\]

i got x≥-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops the question was actually sqrt (x+6) so x≥-6 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or is it x>6? because couldn't it be sqrt(6-6)
rishavraj (rishavraj):
its \[x \ge -6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh oops i meant -6, but still why isn't it x>-6

you looking for the range of
\[f(x)=\frac{1}{x+3}\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got all real numbers but not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a fraction is only zero if the numerator is zero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
therefore
\[\frac{1}{x+3}\] cannot be zero because the numerator is 1

range is all real numbers except zero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh! oops. thanks! what about sqrt(x+6) and h(x)=x^3+2x+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
anyone?
rishavraj (rishavraj):
its clear the its domain and range is ALL REAL Numbers... i.e R
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which one are we talking about :/

\[\sqrt{x+6}\] the square root of anything is never less that zero
range
\[y\geq 0\]
rishavraj (rishavraj):
about h(x) = x^3 + 2x + 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cube goes from \(-\infty\) to \(+\infty\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, ok thanks! and im still confused about the sqrt one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y\geq 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
why isn't it y>0?
rishavraj (rishavraj):
bcoz it can be even zero thts why.....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh. why is the domain x≥-6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i thought it could be sqrt0 or no
rishavraj (rishavraj):
see the function in sqrt can never be negative...... so
\[x + 6 \geq 0\]
\[x \geq -6\]
