Find the domain of the following functions:\(f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}\)

Answer»

Given,\(f(x)\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}\) 

We know that, 

|x| = \(\begin{cases}x, & \quad \text{when } x \geq0\\-x, & \quad \text{when } x<0\end{cases}\)

x - |x| = \( \begin{cases}x-x & \quad \text{when } x\geq0\\x+x, & \quad \text{when } x<0\end{cases}\)

x - |x| = \(\begin{cases}0, & \quad \text{when } x\geq0\\2x, & \quad \text{when } x <0\end{cases}\)

= x − |x| ≤ 0 For all x 

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-|x|}}\) does not take real values for any x ∈ R 1 

⇒ f(x) is not defined for any x ∈ R Hence, Domain  \(f(x)=\phi\)
