Transcript text: Part 3 of 3
(c) $c(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+25}}$
The domain in interval notation is $\square$ .
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the domain of the function \( c(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+25}} \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the expression under the square root is positive, as the square root of a negative number is undefined in the real number system. Additionally, the denominator cannot be zero, so \( x+25 \) must be greater than zero.
Solution Approach
Set the expression under the square root greater than zero: \( x + 25 > 0 \).
Solve the inequality to find the domain of \( x \).
Step 1: Set Up the Inequality
To find the domain of the function \( c(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+25}} \), we need to ensure that the expression under the square root is positive. This leads us to the inequality:
\[
x + 25 > 0
\]
Step 2: Solve the Inequality
We solve the inequality:
\[
x > -25
\]
This indicates that \( x \) must be greater than \(-25\) for the function to be defined.
Step 3: Express the Domain in Interval Notation
The domain of the function in interval notation is:
\[
(-25, \infty)
\]
Final Answer
The domain of the function \( c(x) \) is \(\boxed{(-25, \infty)}\).
