How do you find the domain of f(x) = sqr(25 - x^2)?

1 Answer

Domain: [-5, 5]
Range: [0, 5]

Explanation:

The given equation is f(x)=sqrt(25-x^2) and any value of x>5 will make the radicand negative. Also any value of x<-5 will make the radicand negative, therefore the domain is -5<=x<=5.

The range is found by checking the value of f(x) at x=+-5 and x=0. When x=+-5 the value of f(x)=0 and when x=0, the value of f(x)=5. We can conclude that Range is 0<=f(x)<=5

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
