JAMIA | Mathematics | 2022The domain of ∣x−2∣−1+3−∣x−2∣ is
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
[−1,3]∪[5,∞)
- B.
[−1,5]
- C.
[1,3]
- D.
[−1,1]∪[3,5]
(Correct Answer)
[−1,1]∪[3,5]
Explanation
Step 1: Set up the conditions
For the square roots to be defined, we need:
-
∣x−2∣−1≥0
-
3−∣x−2∣≥0
Step 2: Solve the first inequality
∣x−2∣−1≥0
∣x−2∣≥1
This implies:
x−2≤−1 or x−2≥1
x≤1 or x≥3
In interval notation: x∈(−∞,1]∪[3,∞)
Step 3: Solve the second inequality
3−∣x−2∣≥0
∣x−2∣≤3
This implies:
−3≤x−2≤3
−1≤x≤5
In interval notation: x∈[−1,5]
Step 4: Find the intersection
The domain is the intersection of the two solution sets:
D=((−∞,1]∪[3,∞))∩[−1,5]
-
Intersection of (−∞,1] and [−1,5] is [−1,1].
-
Intersection of [3,∞) and [−1,5] is [3,5].
Combining these, we get:
D=[−1,1]∪[3,5]
Final Answer:
The domain of the function is:
[−1,1]∪[3,5]
