Find the domain of the given function. (5 points) f(x) = sqrt(x+9)/(x+3(x-7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x ≥ -9, x ≠ -3, x ≠ 7, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the domain will be restricted due to the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x ≠ -3, x ≠ 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the numerator will be restricted also due to the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x ≥ -9, x ≠ -3, x ≠ 7, is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why can't x be less than -9?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!! because you can't take the square root of a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course, my bad. Thank you both.
