Look at the following function:
What is the domain of the function?
To find the domain of the function , we must ensure that the function is defined for all real numbers.
Step 1: Evaluate the expression under the square root, , which must be non-negative. Since it's a quadratic expression in the form of , compute for any potential zero or negative range.
Step 2: Notice that for all because for any real number and adding 7 makes this entire expression always positive (i.e., tends upwards away from zero).
Step 3: As the denominator is a positive constant, it imposes no additional restrictions on the domain. Thus, the function is defined wherever the numerator is defined.
Conclusion: Since there's no that makes , the function is defined for all real numbers.
This means the domain of the function is all real numbers, confirmed by choice number 1: .
All real numbers
