Find the Domain y = square root of x-9

Problem

y=√(,x−9)

Solution

1. Identify the restriction for a square root function. For the output to be a real number, the expression inside the square root (the radicand) must be greater than or equal to zero.

2. Set up the inequality based on the radicand.

x−9≥0

3. Solve the inequality for x by adding 9 to both sides.

x≥9

4. Express the domain in interval notation. Since x can be any value from 9 to infinity, including 9 we use a square bracket.

[9,∞)

Final Answer

Domain:[9,∞)
