Answer:
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
In this case, the function f(x) = (x - 5) / √x.
To determine the domain, we need to consider any restrictions or limitations on the input values that would make the function undefined.
For the given function, the square root (√x) is present in the denominator. To avoid division by zero, the denominator cannot be zero. Therefore, we need to find the values of x that make the denominator equal to zero.
√x = 0
Squaring both sides, we get:
x = 0
So, the value x = 0 is not in the domain of the function.
Therefore, the domain of the function is all real numbers except x = 0. In interval notation, the domain can be expressed as (-∞, 0) U (0, ∞).
