Problem
Solution
Identify the constraints for the square root functions. For the expression to be defined in the set of real numbers, the radicand (the expression inside the square root) must be greater than or equal to zero.
Set up the first inequality for the term
√(,18*x*y2)
Analyze the first inequality. Since
18 is a positive constant andy2 is always non-negative for any realy the product18*x*y2 is non-negative ifx≥0 or ify=0 Set up the second inequality for the term
√(,2*x)
Solve the second inequality by dividing both sides by
2
Combine the conditions. For both square roots to be defined simultaneously,
x must be non-negative. There are no restrictions ony becausey2 will always be non-negative, andy itself is outside the square root in the second term.
