Domain of Radical Function

Find the Domain of the Function

Question:

The domain of definition of the function

\[ f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x-2}{x+2}}+\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}} \]

is

(a) \((-\infty,-2]\cup[2,\infty)\)
(b) \([-1,1]\)
(c) \(\phi\)
(d) none of these

Solution:

For the first square root,

\[ \frac{x-2}{x+2}\ge0 \]

\[ x\in(-\infty,-2)\cup[2,\infty) \]

For the second square root,

\[ \frac{1-x}{1+x}\ge0 \]

\[ x\in(-1,1] \]

There is no common value of \(x\).

Therefore, domain is

\[ \phi \]

\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (c)}} \]
