Find the Domain f(x) = square root of 11-x

$f (x) = \sqrt{11 - x}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{11 - x}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$11 - x \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Subtract $11$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- x \geq - 11$

Divide each term in $- x \geq - 11$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x \geq - 11$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- x}{- 1} \leq \frac{- 11}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} \leq \frac{- 11}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \leq \frac{- 11}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 11$ by $- 1$ .

$x \leq 11$

Step 3

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

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, 11]$

Set-Builder Notation:

${x | x \leq 11}$

Step 4
