Tutorial Exercise
Find the domain of the function.
g(x) =
|x²-16|
Step
The domain is the set of all real numbers for which the equation is defined.
The function g(x) is defined for all real numbers for which the denominator |x² - 16| + 0.
Ix² - 1610
x+4
x = 4
x²160
4
x+4
Step 2
So the product (x − 4)(x + 4) can not equal 0. It will not equal o unless x - 4 = 0 or x + 4 = 0. Find the values which make these expressions equal to 0.
X-4 = 0
*O

x+4 = 0
Step 3
The values 4, -4 must be excluded from the domain.
The domain is the set
O all x
+4
O all x ±7
O all real numbers
O all x ≤ 0
O all x ≥ 0
Write the domain In Interval notation.
