Find the Domain and Range y = square root of 4x+3

$y = \sqrt{4 x + 3}$

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{4 x + 3}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$4 x + 3 \geq 0$

Solve for $x$ .

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the inequality.

$4 x \geq - 3$

Divide each term in $4 x \geq - 3$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x \geq - 3$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} \geq \frac{- 3}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} \geq \frac{- 3}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{- 3}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x \geq - \frac{3}{4}$

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$[- \frac{3}{4}, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${x | x \geq - \frac{3}{4}}$

The range is the set of all valid $y$ values. Use the graph to find the range.

Interval Notation:

$[0, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${y | y \geq 0}$

Determine the domain and range.

Domain: $[- \frac{3}{4}, \infty), {x | x \geq - \frac{3}{4}}$

Range: $[0, \infty), {y | y \geq 0}$
