Find the Domain y = square root of 3x-6

$y = \sqrt{3 x - 6}$

Step 1

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{3 x - 6}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$3 x - 6 \geq 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Add $6$ to both sides of the inequality.

$3 x \geq 6$

Divide each term in $3 x \geq 6$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 x \geq 6$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 x}{3} \geq \frac{6}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 x}{3} \geq \frac{6}{3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{6}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $6$ by $3$ .

$x \geq 2$

Step 3

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