Radical Functions and Their Domains

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A radical function carries the variable under a radical; with an even index, the domain is wherever the radicand is nonnegative.

Show

g(x) = √(x − 2) lives on [2, ∞): the radicand crosses into legality at 2, bracket included since √0 = 0.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
