Find the Domain square root of x^2-6x+9

$\sqrt{x^{2} - 6 x + 9}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{x^{2} - 6 x + 9}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x^{2} - 6 x + 9 \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Convert the inequality to an equation.

$x^{2} - 6 x + 9 = 0$

Factor using the perfect square rule.

Rewrite $9$ as $3^{2}$ .

$x^{2} - 6 x + 3^{2} = 0$

Check that the middle term is two times the product of the numbers being squared in the first term and third term.

$6 x = 2 \cdot x \cdot 3$

Rewrite the polynomial.

$x^{2} - 2 \cdot x \cdot 3 + 3^{2} = 0$

Factor using the perfect square trinomial rule $a^{2} - 2 a b + b^{2} = {(a - b)}^{2}$ , where $a = x$ and $b = 3$ .

${(x - 3)}^{2} = 0$

Set the $x - 3$ equal to $0$ .

$x - 3 = 0$

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 3$

Use each root to create test intervals.

$x < 3$

$x > 3$

Choose a test value from each interval and plug this value into the original inequality to determine which intervals satisfy the inequality.

Test a value on the interval $x < 3$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x < 3$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 0$

Replace $x$ with $0$ in the original inequality.

${(0)}^{2} - 6 \cdot 0 + 9 \geq 0$

The left side $9$ is greater than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

Test a value on the interval $x > 3$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x > 3$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 6$

Replace $x$ with $6$ in the original inequality.

${(6)}^{2} - 6 \cdot 6 + 9 \geq 0$

The left side $9$ is greater than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

Compare the intervals to determine which ones satisfy the original inequality.

$x < 3$ True

$x > 3$ True

$x < 3$ True

$x > 3$ True

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$x \leq 3$ or $x \geq 3$

Combine the intervals.

All real numbers

Step 3

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.
