Chapter 1, Problem 1.20
In Exercises 19–32, find the (a) domain and (b) range.
____
𝔂 = -2 + √1 - x
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the expression inside the square root, which is '1 - x'. The square root function is defined only for non-negative values, so set up the inequality 1 - x ≥ 0.
Step 2: Solve the inequality 1 - x ≥ 0 to find the domain of the function. Rearrange the inequality to find the values of x that satisfy it.
Step 3: The domain of the function is the set of x-values for which the expression inside the square root is non-negative. Express this domain in interval notation.
Step 4: To find the range, consider the values that the expression √(1 - x) can take. Since the square root function outputs non-negative values, determine the minimum and maximum values of √(1 - x).
Step 5: The range of the function is determined by the expression -2 + √(1 - x). Calculate the minimum and maximum values of this expression based on the domain found in Step 3, and express the range in interval notation.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Domain of a Function
The domain of a function refers to the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. For the function y = -2 + √(1 - x), the expression under the square root must be non-negative, which imposes restrictions on x. Thus, determining the domain involves solving the inequality 1 - x ≥ 0.

Range of a Function
The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce. For the function y = -2 + √(1 - x), the square root function outputs non-negative values, which means the minimum value of y occurs when x is at its maximum in the domain. Analyzing the function helps identify the range based on the values y can take.

Square Root Function
The square root function, denoted as √x, is defined for non-negative values of x and produces non-negative outputs. In the context of the function y = -2 + √(1 - x), the square root affects both the domain and range, as it restricts x to values where 1 - x is non-negative, and it shifts the output down by 2, impacting the overall range.
