Find the Domain square root of 100-x^2

$\sqrt{100 - x^{2}}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{100 - x^{2}}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$100 - x^{2} \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Subtract $100$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- x^{2} \geq - 100$

Divide each term in $- x^{2} \geq - 100$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x^{2} \geq - 100$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- x^{2}}{- 1} \leq \frac{- 100}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x^{2}}{1} \leq \frac{- 100}{- 1}$

Divide $x^{2}$ by $1$ .

$x^{2} \leq \frac{- 100}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 100$ by $- 1$ .

$x^{2} \leq 100$

Take the specified root of both sides of the inequality to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$\sqrt{x^{2}} \leq \sqrt{100}$

Simplify the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$| x | \leq \sqrt{100}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $\sqrt{100}$ .

Rewrite $100$ as $10^{2}$ .

$| x | \leq \sqrt{10^{2}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$| x | \leq | 10 |$

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $10$ is $10$ .

$| x | \leq 10$

Write $| x | \leq 10$ as a piecewise.

To find the interval for the first piece, find where the inside of the absolute value is non-negative.

$x \geq 0$

In the piece where $x$ is non-negative, remove the absolute value.

$x \leq 10$

To find the interval for the second piece, find where the inside of the absolute value is negative.

$x < 0$

In the piece where $x$ is negative, remove the absolute value and multiply by $- 1$ .

$- x \leq 10$

Write as a piecewise.

${\begin{cases} x \leq 10 & x \geq 0 \\ - x \leq 10 & x < 0 \end{cases}$

Find the intersection of $x \leq 10$ and $x \geq 0$ .

$0 \leq x \leq 10$

Solve $- x \leq 10$ when $x < 0$ .

Divide each term in $- x \leq 10$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x \leq 10$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- x}{- 1} \geq \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} \geq \frac{10}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $- 1$ .

$x \geq - 10$

Find the intersection of $x \geq - 10$ and $x < 0$ .

$- 10 \leq x < 0$

Find the union of the solutions.

$- 10 \leq x \leq 10$

Step 3

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