Find the Domain
Problem
Solution
Identify the constraints for the square root function. For the expression
√(,27*x^27) to be defined in the set of real numbers, the radicand must be non-negative.
Solve the inequality for
x Since27 is positive and the exponent27 is odd, the termx^27 is non-negative if and only ifx is non-negative.
Identify the constraints for the denominators. The expressions in the denominators,
3*x^(−2) and3*x^(−1) must not equal zero.
Analyze the division by zero constraints. Both
x^(−2)=1/(x^2) andx^(−1)=1/x are undefined atx=0 Furthermore, ifx≠0 these terms can never equal zero. Thus, we must excludex=0
Combine the requirements. The square root requires
x≥0 and the denominators requirex≠0 The intersection of these conditions isx>0
