#Finding Domain of a Inverse Function Problem

I can’t figure out the right answer to part 2 when the limit isn’t specified, how do I solve when the answer can’t be infinity as one of the intervals??

5 to infinity is right just fix format when u enter it

#

crisp dew
#

likely just a website error, maybe ‘oo’ isnt seen as infinity

queen kiln
#

put x >= 5

#

or x ≥ 5

odd kiln
# queen kiln put x >= 5

My professor said it can’t be infinity so Also how is it x >= 5 if it says interval notation

#

I have 1 attempted left so how to enter it

queen kiln
#

one moment

crisp dew
#

try putting it into a quadratic form then finding the range for which the discriminant >= 1

#

it cannot be “[5…”because when you put x as 5, it gives a number more than 0, so there are definitely numbers below 5

queen kiln
#

so (−∞,∞)

I don't understand so, it values out to all the values - 2/ 7 and above

crisp dew
#

x < 3.58…, x > 6.41….

queen kiln
#

no thats not right

odd kiln

((x-5)^{2}-2)/7

#

you said your professor said it cannot be infinity?

i assume he meant that writing [5, ∞] would be wrong

#

you can write infinity in domains, but it has to be [5, ∞)

queen kiln
#

i agree

#

i still think your math input was probably wrong

odd kiln
#

I'll entering that notation with that symbol

queen kiln
#

is there not a math input feature

crisp dew

"[5, ∞)"

crisp dew
#

ye, ney?

odd kiln
odd kiln
#

didn't work

crisp dew
#

aight so its gotta be the other one

queen kiln
#

i think that was his last attempt

crisp dew
#

no idea what fraction to get those two numbers but

#

wait shit?

odd kiln
#

i can still try, it just won't add credit

#

it's fine it's 9.5/10

crisp dew
#

may aswell try

odd kiln
#

i just wanna know

crisp dew
#

a = 1/7, b = -10/7, c = 23/7

#

discriminant = sqrt(-10/7^2 - 4(1/7)(23/7))

#

put 0 = discriminat, find the two values for x

odd kiln
#

and the other?

crisp dew
#

no i dont think so

#

that = 0.16… and its gotta be 3.58 or 6.41..

odd kiln
#

[3.58, 6.41]

crisp dew
#

(3.58, 6.41) would be the domain for x < 0

#

above 0 and you get two equations, x < 3.58, x > 6.41

crisp dew

#

both endpoints are invalid, i think it needs at least 5 deciaml places

crisp dew
odd kiln
crisp dew
#

try []?

odd kiln
#

nope

crisp dew
#

might be a rounding error one sec

#

yeah i’ve no idea

odd kiln
#

that's fine. I'll ask him on Tuesday and see

#

I'll reopen this channel to tell you if you are wondering
