How do you find the domain and range of y = sqrt(x - 1)y=x1?

Domain- 1<=x<1x<prop
Range- 0<=y<0y<prop

Explanation:

xx cannot be <1<1, because if x<1x<1, there would be a negative under the radical, which cannot exist in the real number system. So xx can be anywhere from 11 toprop.

Since xx must be at least 1, the value of yy can range from sqrt00 =0=0, to sqrt of any value >x>x, which makes the limit of the range prop.
