Step-by-step solution

To solve the problem of finding the domain of the function 204x2 \frac{20}{\sqrt{4x-2}} , we need to ensure that the expression under the square root is non-negative, and that we do not divide by zero.

**Step 1:** Solve for when the expression inside the square root is non-negative:

4x20 4x - 2 \geq 0

Add 2 to both sides:

4x2 4x \geq 2

Divide both sides by 4:

x0.5 x \geq 0.5

**Step 2:** Ensure the denominator is not zero:

4x20 4x - 2 \neq 0

From 4x2=0 4x - 2 = 0 , we solve:

4x=2 4x = 2

x=0.5 x = 0.5

Since at x=0.5 x = 0.5 , the denominator becomes zero, we exclude this point. Therefore, x>0.5 x > 0.5 .

Final Answer

x>0.5 x > 0.5
