Functions Question 429

Question: The domain of the function $ \sqrt{x^{2}-5x+6}+\sqrt{2x+8-x^{2}} $ is

Options:

A) $ [2,3] $

B) $ [-2,4] $

C) $ [-2,2]\cup [3,4] $

D) $ [-2,1]\cup [2,4] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ f(x)=\sqrt{(x-2)(x-3)}+\sqrt{-(x-4)(x+2)} $ The first part is real outside (2, 3) and the second is real [-2, 4] so that the domain is $ [-2,2]\cup [3,4]. $
