QuestionFind the starting point of the function on the coordinate plane.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The function is . We are looking for the ordered pair where the function begins on the coordinate plane. This is the point where the function is first defined.
STEP 2
The function is defined only when the value under the square root is non-negative, as we cannot take the square root of a negative number in the real number system.So, we need to find the smallest value of for which .
STEP 3
olving the inequality gives us the smallest value of for which the function is defined.
STEP 4
Subtract2 from both sides of the inequality to isolate .
STEP 5
The smallest value of for which the function is defined is .
STEP 6
Now, we substitute into the function to find the corresponding -coordinate.
STEP 7
implify the expression under the square root.
STEP 8
Calculate the square root of0.
STEP 9
Subtract2 from to find the -coordinate.
STEP 10
The ordered pair where the function begins on the coordinate plane is .
