Find the Domain square root of 4x-8

$\sqrt{4 x - 8}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{4 x - 8}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$4 x - 8 \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Add $8$ to both sides of the inequality.

$4 x \geq 8$

Divide each term in $4 x \geq 8$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x \geq 8$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} \geq \frac{8}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} \geq \frac{8}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{8}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $8$ by $4$ .

$x \geq 2$

Step 3

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