Find the Domain a+7b=8
Problem
Solution
Identify the type of equation. This is a linear equation in two variables,
a andb Determine the context of the domain. In the context of a function where
b is the independent variable anda is the dependent variable, we solve fora to see if there are any restrictions.Solve for
a by subtracting7*b from both sides.
Analyze the resulting expression. The expression
8 - 7b$ is a polynomial, which is defined for all real numbers. There are no denominators that could be zero and no square roots of negative numbers.Conclude that the domain for the independent variable
b is all real numbers. Similarly, ifa were the independent variable, its domain would also be all real numbers.
