Find the domain of the function f(x)= (3x+5)1/2.
Not quite sure how to even start this...

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined. It is the independent variable or the x-values of a function.
It is important to find the domain of a function in order to determine the range of values that the function can output. It also helps to identify any restrictions or limitations on the input values of the function.
To find the domain of a function, you need to look at the input values of the function and determine if there are any restrictions. Common restrictions include values that would result in division by zero or taking the square root of a negative number. You may also need to consider the type of function and its graph to identify any limitations on the input values.
Some common types of functions with restricted domains include rational functions (which have restrictions on the denominator), square root functions, and logarithmic functions.
No, a function must have a defined domain in order to be considered a valid function. A function with an empty domain means that there are no input values that can be used to produce an output, while a function with an undefined domain means that there are no restrictions on the input values.
