The given function is


f(x)=2\sqrt[]{-x^2+10x}

Domain is the set of all the possible values of x, i.e domain is the input of the function

Since The x must have the value that define the function properly

SInce, x is the horizontal distance, so, x will not be negative

Thus, the x has positive real number

For the Domain of F(x)

Equate the function with zero


\begin{gathered} 2\sqrt[]{-x^2+10x}=0 \\ \sqrt[]{-x^2+10x}=0 \end{gathered}

Squaring both side


\begin{gathered} -x^2+10x=0 \\ -x+10=0 \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x should not be greater than 10

Domain of the function is


0\leq x\leq10
