1.
Find the domain of the function 16-x24.
a.

[- 4, 0)

b.

(- 4, 4]

c.

[- 4, 4]

d.

[0, 4]

e.

[4, ]

Solution:
f(x) = 16-x24
[Original function.]
Set 16 - x2 greater than or equal to zero to make the expression under the fourth root, positive.
16 - x2 0, so x2 - 16 0
(x - 4)(x + 4) 0
[Factor the left side of the inequality.]
x - 4 and x 4
So, the domain of the function is [- 4, 4].
2.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = - -4x+5.
a.
All real values of x

Solution:

b.

All real values of x - 1.25

c.

All real values of x 1.25

d.

All real values of x except 1.25

e.

All real values of x 1.25

f(x) = - -4x+5
[Original function.]
f(x) is defined if - 4x + 5 0
- 4x - 5
[Subtract 5 from both sides.]
4x 5
[Divide by - 1.]
x 1.25
[Divide by 4 on both sides.]
So, the domain is all real values of x less than or equal to 1.25.
3.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = x+6x2+10x+9.
a.
(- , - 9) (- 1, )
b.

[- 9, - 1]

c.

(- 9, - 1) (- 1, )

d.

(- , - 9) (- 9, - 1)

e.

(- , - 9) (- 9, - 1) (- 1, )

Solution:
f(x) = x+6x2+10x+9
[Original function.]
f (x) = x+6(x+9)(x+1)
[Factor the denominator.]
Set the denominator equal to zero to solve for x.
(x + 9) (x + 1) = 0
x = - 9, x = - 1
That is f(x) is not defined at x = - 9 and at x = - 1
So, the domain of the function is (- , - 9) (- 9, - 1) (- 1, ).

4.
Find the domain: f(x) = 2x+3|7x+6|
a.
(- 67, 0)
c.

(- , 0) (0, )
(- 67, )

d.

[- 67, 67]

e.

(- , - 67) U (- 67, )

b.

Solution:
f(x) = 2x+3|7x+6|
[Original function.]
Set the denominator equal to zero to solve for x.
7x + 6 = 0
x=-6/7
That is f(x) is not defined at x = - 6 / 7.
So, the domain of the function f is (- , - 6 / 7) (- 6 / 7, ).
5.
Find the domain of the function f (x) = 8x2-3x2-10
a.
(- , 10) (10, )
b.

(- , )

c.

(- , 0) (0, )

d.

[- 10, 10]

e.

(- , - 10) (10, )

Solution:
f (x) = 8x2-3x2-10
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.

x2 - 10 > 0
(x - 10)(x + 10) > 0
[Factor the left side of the inequality.]
x < - 10 or x > 10
So, the domain of the function is (- , - 10) (10, ).
6.
Find the domain of the function f(x) = 7x-8
a.
[78, )
b.

[- 87, )

c.

[87, )

d.

(87, ]

e.

(87, )

Solution:
f(x) = 7x-8
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
7x - 8 0
7x 8
[Add 8 on both sides.]
x8/7
[Divide by 7 on both sides.]
So, the domain of the function is [8 / 7, ).
7.
Find the domain of the function: y = 12-x
a.
[- , 2]
b.

(2, )

c.

[- , 2)

d.

(- , - 2) (- 2, )
(- , 2)

e.

Solution:
y = 12-x
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root, positive.
2-x>0
2>x
[Add x on both sides.]
So, the domain of the function is (- , 2).
8.
Find the domain: f (x) = (11x-2)54
a.

[112, )

b.

[211, ]

c.

(- , - 211)

d.

[211, )

e.

(211, )

Solution:
f (x) = (11x-2)54
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the fourth root, positive.
11x - 2 0
x 2 / 11
The domain of the function is [2 / 11, ).

9.
Find the domain of the function: f (x) = 9-4x3x-2
a.
(- 23, 94)
b.

[23, 94)

c.

(23, 94]

d.

(23, 94)

e.

[- 94, - 23]

Solution:
f (x) = 9-4x3x-2
[Original Function.]
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root in the numerator, positive.
9 - 4x 0
x9/4
Solve for x which makes the expression under the square root in the denominator, positive.
3x - 2 > 0
x>2/3
So, the domain of the function is (2 / 3, 9 / 4].
10.
What is the range of the function shown in the graph?

a.

[0, )

b.

(- , 4) (4, )
(0, )

c.

(- , 0) (0, )
[4, ]

d.
e.

Solution:
The y-coordinates of the points on the graph are all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
So, the range of the function is [0, ).
11.
Find the domain of the function: f(x) = |x - 8|
a.
(- 8, 8)
b.

all real numbers

c.

(- , 8) (8, )

d.

(- , - 8) (- 8, 8) (8, )

e.

(- , - 8) (- 8, 8)

Solution:
f(x) = |x - 8|
[Original Function.]
f(x) is defined for all real values of x.
[f(x) is an absolute value function.]
So, the domain of the function is the set of all real numbers.
12.
Find the domain of the function: f(x) = - x6 + 1
a.
All real values of x except 1
b.

All real values of x greater than 1

c.

all real values of x less than 1

d.

(- , - 1) (- 1, 1)

all real values of x

e.

Solution:
f(x) = - x6 + 1
[Original Function.]
As there in no real number x such that f(x) is not defined.
[f(x) is a polynomial function.]
So, the domain of the function is 'all real values of x'.
13.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = log2 (8 - x).
a.
all real values greater 8
b.

[- 8, 8]

c.

all real values less than 8

d.

all real values except 8

e.

all real values less than - 8

Solution:
f(x) = log2 (8 - x)
[Original function.]
f(x) is defined, if (8 - x) is positive.
[Logarithmic function is defined only for positive real numbers.]
8-x>0
8-x-8>0-8
[Subtract 8 from each side.]
-x>-8
x<8
So, the domain of the function is all real values less than 8.

14.
Find the domain of the logarithmic function, f(x) = log2 (x + 11)2.
a.
All real numbers less than - 11
b.

All real numbers less than 11

c.

All real numbers except - 11

d.

All real numbers

e.

All real numbers greater than 11

Solution:
f(x) = log2 (x + 11)2
[Original logarithmic function.]
Logarithmic function is defined only for positive real numbers, so x + 11 0
[(x + 11)2 0]
x - 11
So, the domain of the function is all real numbers except - 11.
15.
Write the domain of the function in interval notation.
f(x) = 5-xx+8
a.
(- , - 8) (- 8, 8)
b.

[- 8, )

c.
d.

(- , 8) (8, )
[- 8, 8]

e.

(- , - 8) (- 8, )

Solution:
f(x) = 5-xx+8,
[Original Function.]
The denominator of the rational expression cannot be zero but the numerator can be zero.
x+80

x-8
So, the domain of the function is all real numbers except - 8.
The domain can be written in interval notation as, (- , - 8) (- 8, ).
16.
Find the domain of the function: f (x) = 9xx2-4x-12
a.
{x | x 6, x > - 2}
b.

All x

c.

{x | x < 6, x - 2}

d.

{x | x 6, x - 2}

e.

{x | x > 6}

Solution:
f (x) = 9xx2-4x-12
[Original Function.]
Set the expression in the denominator equal to zero to find the values of x that are to be excluded
from the domain.
x2 - 4x - 12 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
[Factor the quadratic equation.]
x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
[Zero product property.]
x = 6 or x = - 2
[Solve for x.]
So, the domain is {x | x 6, x - 2}.
17.

(- , )

d.

(- , - 2) (- 2, )

e.

(- , - 3) (- 3, )
b.

(0, )

c.

(- , - 3]

d.

(- , 0) (0, )
[0, )

e.
