Which statement is true about the function f(x)= square root of -x ?

a. the domain of the graph is all real numbers.
b. the range of the graph is all real numbers.
c. the domain of the graph is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.
d. the range of the graph is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

question 2 has a graph

the function f(x) = - square root of x is shown on the graph.

which statement is correct?

a. the domain of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to −1.
b. the range of the function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0.
c. the range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.
d. the domain of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

The correct answers are:

Question 1:  C. The domain of the graph is all real numbers less than or equal to 0. ; and Question #2:  C. The range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

Explanation:

For Question #1:

We cannot use real numbers to take the square root of a negative number.  This means if we are to have a real number value for this, we can only use values of x that are negative; this will make it the square root of a "negative negative," which makes it the square root of a positive.  This means the domain, or list of all possible x values, would be real numbers less than or equal to 0.

For Question #2:

We can see in the graph that the domain, or set of x values, goes from 0 towards positive infinity.   We can also see that the range, or set of y values, starts at 0 and decreases; this means that the range is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

(1). The correct option is .

(2). The correct option is .

Further explanation:

Concept used:

The domain of the function is the set of all -values for which the function exists as a real number and range is defined as all the corresponding values of for the values of in domain.

Calculation:

Part (1)

Th function is given as follows:

In the given function a radical term is present and the argument is .

From the given function to be defined the argument should be always greater or equal to .

From the above calculation it is concluded that the domain of given function is .

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function .

From figure 1 it is observed that the curve of the function always the above -axis so, it can be said that the value of the function is always greater or equal to .

Therefore, the range of the function is .

This implies that the correct option is .

Part (2)

The function is .

In the given function a radical term is present and the argument is .

From the given function to be defined the argument should be always greater or equal to .

Therefore, the domain of the function is .

Figure 2 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function .

From figure 2 it is observed that the curve of the function always below the -axis so, it can be said that the value of function always less than or equal to .

As per the above statement it is concluded that the range of the function is .

This implies that the correct option is .

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
