QuestionFind the starting point of the function f(x)=x+22f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}-2 on the coordinate plane. ([?],[])([?],[])

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function is f(x)=x+f(x)=\sqrt{x+}- . 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 f(x)f(x) 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 xx for which x+20x+2 \geq0.

STEP 3

olving the inequality x+20x+2 \geq0 gives us the smallest value of xx for which the function is defined.
x+20x+2 \geq0

STEP 4

Subtract2 from both sides of the inequality to isolate xx.
x2x \geq -2

STEP 5

The smallest value of xx for which the function is defined is x=2x=-2.

STEP 6

Now, we substitute x=2x=-2 into the function f(x)f(x) to find the corresponding yy-coordinate.
f(2)=2+22f(-2) = \sqrt{-2+2}-2

STEP 7

implify the expression under the square root.
f(2)=02f(-2) = \sqrt{0}-2

STEP 8

Calculate the square root of0.
f(2)=02f(-2) =0-2

STEP 9

Subtract2 from to find the yy-coordinate.
f(2)=2f(-2) = -2

STEP 10

The ordered pair where the function f(x)=x+22f(x)=\sqrt{x+2}-2 begins on the coordinate plane is (2,2)(-2, -2).
(2,2)(-2,-2)
