The domain of the function f(x) = is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
We need the domain of
-
Since the expression is in the denominator under a square root, we need:
- the quantity inside the square root to be defined, and
- the denominator must be nonzero.
So we require
-
Now evaluate piecewise using the definition of modulus.
Case 1: so Then and the denominator becomes zero, which is not allowed.
Hence, no belongs to the domain.
-
Case 2: so Since , we have . Therefore the square root is real and nonzero.
Hence all are allowed.
-
Therefore, the domain is
-
Comparing with the options:
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
So the correct option is B.
