x-1 >= 0
x >= 1
the domain is [1,2) u (2,infinity)

asked 06/30/19What its the largest possible domain of f(x)= SQRT[(x-1)/(x+2)] And is it continuous everywhere it is defined?

Retired math prof. Calc 1, 2 and AP Calculus tutoring experience.
f(x) = √[(x-1)/(x+2)] f(x) is defined only when (x-1)/(x+2) ≥ 0
x - 1 = 0 when x = 1, and x + 2 = 0 when x = -2
When x < -2, x-1<0 and x+2<0. So, (x-1)/(x+2) > 0.
When -2 < x < 1, x-1<0 and x+2>0. So, (x-1)/(x+2) < 0.
When x = 1, (x-1)/(x+2) = 0.
When x>1, x-1 > 0 and x+2>0. So, (x-1)/(x+2) > 0
Domain of f = (-∞, -2) ∪ [1,∞).

Okay thank you is it continuous everywhere? And Could you please explain the answer and how that works so that I understand?06/30/19
