Find the Domain of the Function $f ( x ) = \frac { 8 } { \sqrt { 5 - x } }$

question 116

Short Answer

Find the domain of the function.
- $f ( x ) = \frac { 8 } { \sqrt { 5 - x } }$
A) $\{ x \mid x \geq - 5 \} , \text { or } [ - 5 , \infty )$
B) $\{ x \mid x \geq 5 \} , \text { or } [ 5 , \infty )$
C) $\{ x \mid x < 5 \} , \text { or } ( - \infty , 5 )$
D) $\{ x \mid x < - 5 \} , \text { or } ( - \infty , - 5 )$

• A) \(\{ x \mid x \geq - 5 \} , \text { or } [ - 5 , \infty )\)
• B) \(\{ x \mid x \geq 5 \} , \text { or } [ 5 , \infty )\)
• C) \(\{ x \mid x < 5 \} , \text { or } ( - \infty , 5 )\)
• D) \(\{ x \mid x < - 5 \} , \text { or } ( - \infty , - 5 )\)
