f(3) = 3 - √[3 - 2] = 3 - √1 = 3 - 1 = 2
Sorry, ihavelovedyousincewewere18.....I just don't understand part e.
f(x) = x - √[x - 2]
So f(11) just means to put 11 into the function and evaluate the result......so we have
f(11) = 11 - √[11- 2] = 11 - √9 = 11 - 3 = 8
f(6) , f(2) and f(0) are done similarly
b. Here's the graph.......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lok5hw3jkm
c. Note that x cannot be less than 2, because √[x - 2] would result in taking the square root of a negative number and this isn't a "real" result.....so.....the domain is x ≥ 2
d. x - √[x - 2 ] = 0 add √[x - 2 ] to both sides
x = √[x - 2 ] square both sides
x^2 = x - 2 rearrange
x^2 - x + 2 = 0 Note that, in the quadratic formula.....b^2 - 4ac = (-1)^2 - 4(1)(2) = 1 - 8 = -7........and this would mean that we would have two non-real solutions......thus...... x - √[x - 2 ] = 0 doesn't exist in real terms.......also, look at the graph.......the function never touches or crosses the x axis.....thus, it is never 0
f(6) = 6 - √[6 - 2] = 6 - √4 = 6 - 2 = 4
f(2) = 6 - √[2 - 2] = 6 - 0 = 6
f(0) = not defined
Woops, I totally made a typo. Its supposed to be
a. find f(11), f(6), f(3), f(2), and f(0).
Does that change anything from f(3) on?
and what should f(3) be?
Also, I forgot to add one last question.
e. Set f(x)=f and solve for x. Show on your graph that one solution is valid and the other one is extraneous. (Plot 2 points showing one is on the graph and the other is not.)
