Transcript text: Determine the domain for the following square root function.
\[
f(x)=-\sqrt{-10 x+6}
\]
$x \leq 0.6$
Round your answer to three decimal places if necessary.
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the domain of the square root function \( f(x) = -\sqrt{-10x + 6} \), we need to ensure that the expression inside the square root is non-negative. This means solving the inequality \(-10x + 6 \geq 0\). Once we find the range of \( x \) that satisfies this inequality, we can determine the domain of the function.
Step 1: Set Up the Inequality
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = -\sqrt{-10x + 6} \), we need to ensure that the expression inside the square root is non-negative:
\[
-10x + 6 \geq 0
\]
Step 2: Solve the Inequality
Rearranging the inequality gives:
\[
6 \geq 10x
\]
Dividing both sides by 10 results in:
\[
\frac{6}{10} \geq x \quad \text{or} \quad x \leq \frac{3}{5}
\]
Step 3: Determine the Domain
The solution to the inequality indicates that \( x \) can take any value less than or equal to \( \frac{3}{5} \). Therefore, the domain of the function is:
\[
(-\infty, \frac{3}{5}]
\]
Final Answer
The domain of the function is \(\boxed{x \leq \frac{3}{5}}\).
