Exercise 9 Page 914

The domain of radical functions only includes values for which the radicand is non-negative.

C

Practice makes perfect

The domain of radical functions only includes values for which the radicand is non-negative. f(x)=sqrt(5x-3)We can solve for these values of x by only looking at the radicand.

5x-3 ≥ 0
5x≥ 3
x ≥ 3/5

The domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 35. { x | x≥ 3/5 } This corresponds to option C.
