Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the function
The given function is \( f(x) = \sqrt{x - 3} \). This is a square root function, and its domain is all real numbers \( x \) such that \( x - 3 \geq 0 \), or \( x \geq 3 \). For values of \( x \) less than 3, the function is not a real number.
Step 2: Evaluate \( f(x) \) for \( x = 103 \)
We are asked to find \( f(103) \). Substitute \( x = 103 \) into the function:
\[
f(103) = \sqrt{103 - 3} = \sqrt{100}.
\]
The square root of 100 is 10.
Step 3: Simplify the result
The value of \( f(103) \) simplifies to 10. Since 100 is a perfect square, the result is an integer.
