Math question help.

TheConMan:

How do i find the domain of this function..\[F(x) = \frac{ 2x }{ \sqrt{x-1} }\]

TheConMan:

Sorry, i need the range of ^^^^ function.

TheConMan:

I’ve predicted that the range has to be equal or greater than 2.

Ferredoxin4:

2?

TheConMan:

The x-value fron the domain which is *x can be equal to or greater than 1* doesn’t apply to the range...everytime i plugin 1 in the denominator i get an undef...so y has to be greater or equal to 2 for range

TheConMan:

Do you want me to write out the answer fer?

Ferredoxin4:

But here it cant equal 1 either, itll make the denominator 0

Ferredoxin4:

Range would be 4

TheConMan:

TheConMan:

Sorry my internet is dying,,, it stops for no apparent reason

TheConMan:

Do you wanna finish this question or move on to the next topic?

Hero:

Did I not help you with this one already?

Hero:

Pretty sure I did

Hero:

And you made the same mistake as before

TheConMan:

I’d go back and see what i did to find the range but i can’t find my last post

Hero:

I said to find the range, solve this \(x - 1 > 0\)

Hero:

and NOT this \(x - 1 \ge 0\)

Hero:

You told me you knew the difference between \(> and \ge \)

TheConMan:

Yeah my bad... lol

Hero:

Also, you should know that \(x \ne 1\) for this because that would lead to a zero denominator

TheConMan:

Let me fix it

TheConMan:

|dw:1567703475694:dw|

Hero:

@Ferredoxin4 already told you what the range was

Hero:

And you still don't know how to write the domain correctly.

TheConMan:

Since there’s no HA, does that mean there’s no restrictions in the range?

TheConMan:

Can u show my how the range would be 4?

Hero:

[a, b] means \(a \le x \le b\) and a and b are included in the domain. (a , b) means a < x < b and a and b are excluded from the domani.

Hero:

The range is \([4, \infty)\)

TheConMan:

How do u algebraically figureout the range

Hero:

You can't always figure out the range algebraically which is why I tried to help you focus on finding the values of the lower and upper bounds

TheConMan:

I see

Hero:

So in this case, how to start thinking about finding the range is to start with \(x = 1\) you know that is undefined so the next number to try is \(x = 2\)

Hero:

And evaluate f(2). You get 4 which is the lower bound.

TheConMan:

I don’t get 4 when I plugin 2 let me try again

TheConMan:

|dw:1567704055319:dw|

TheConMan:

So the upper bound is infinite?

TheConMan:

I don’t see any limits when x is bigger than 2...

TheConMan:

I get it ..let me do the range now

Hero:

Bro, we're already doing the range. SMH

Hero:

And you already found the domain. Remember?

TheConMan:

|dw:1567704258480:dw|

Hero:

You also need to learn the difference between using [ and using (

Ferredoxin4:

I think that some of your Algebra 2 and Precalculus skills are rusty. I suggest you go over: -graph transformations -Parent functions -boundness, restrictions, discontinuity

Ferredoxin4:

AND function notation and other notation like Hero said. There's a difference between [ and (

Hero:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Hero [a, b] means \(a \le x \le b\) and a and b are included in the domain. (a , b) means a < x < b and a and b are excluded from the domani. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

TheConMan:

So what am I doing wrong?

TheConMan:

Hero, i’ve Told u 100 times, use simple language and terms..

TheConMan:

It makes the problem 100 times harder for me..

Hero:

Can you evaluate \(f(\infty)\)

TheConMan:

No

Hero:

Okay, then you need to use a parentheses for it so write \([4, \infty) \)

TheConMan:

That’s it. I’ll remember that..

Hero:

And that also corresponds to \(4 \le x < \infty\)

Hero:

4 is inclusive and infinity is exclusive

Hero:

Meaning 4 is included in the solution set and infinity is not

TheConMan:

Too many big words... dumb it down for me...idk what corresponding means.. use simple English..chris

TheConMan:

Christ

Hero:

\([4, \infty) \iff 4 \le x < \infty\)

TheConMan:

Ok

Hero:

or \([4, \infty) \equiv 4 \le x < \infty\)

TheConMan:

Wait 4 is the range

Hero:

Yes 4 is included in the range.

Hero:

\(4 \le y < \infty)\) means that every number between 4 and infinity is included in the range.

TheConMan:

But does domain starts from 4 tho? Or 2?

Hero:

lol, I kept writing x instead of y

TheConMan:

I’m done my head is hurting...

TheConMan:

I wanna move on to the next topic

Hero:

The range is always associated with y. Sorry about that

Ferredoxin4:

The next topic (most likely limits) will explore this even more at a much higher level, so you need to be strong in this.

TheConMan:

No actually it’s about prod, sum, diff, and quotient of func

TheConMan:

And cost n profits questions

TheConMan:

Func*

TheConMan:

I need someone to gimme warmup questions related to that

TheConMan:

Let me open a new thread
