Functions Domains C1644A
1. **Problem 15: Find the natural domain and graph of** $f(x) = 5 - 2x$.
- This is a linear function.
- The natural domain of any linear function is all real numbers, so $\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty)$.
2. **Problem 16: Find the natural domain and graph of** $f(x) = 1 - 2x - x^2$.
- This is a quadratic function.
- Quadratic functions are defined for all real numbers.
- So, $\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty)$.
3. **Problem 17: Find the natural domain and graph of** $g(x) = \sqrt{|x|}$.
- The expression inside the square root must be $\geq 0$.
- Since $|x| \geq 0$ for all $x$, the domain is all real numbers.
- So, $\text{Domain} = (-\infty, \infty)$.
4. **Problem 18: Find the natural domain and graph of** $g(x) = \sqrt{-x}$.
- The expression inside the square root must be $\geq 0$.
- So, $-x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 0$.
- The domain is $(-\infty, 0]$.
5. **Problem 19: Find the natural domain and graph of** $F(t) = \frac{t}{|t|}$.
- The denominator $|t|$ cannot be zero.
- So, $t \neq 0$.
- Domain is $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$.
- The function equals $-1$ for $t<0$ and $1$ for $t>0$.
6. **Problem 20: Find the natural domain and graph of** $G(t) = \frac{1}{|t|}$.
- The denominator $|t|$ cannot be zero.
- So, $t \neq 0$.
- Domain is $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$.
- The graph has two branches, both positive, approaching infinity near $t=0$ and approaching zero as $|t|$ grows.
