Domain of 1/√(x−|x|)

Find the Domain of the Function

Question:

The domain of the function

\[ f(x)=\frac1{\sqrt{x-|x|}} \]

is

(a) \(R_0\)
(b) \(R^+\)
(c) \(R^-\)
(d) none of these

Solution:

Since square root is in denominator,

\[ x-|x|>0 \]

Case I: \(x\ge0\)

\[ |x|=x \]

\[ x-|x|=x-x=0 \]

Not allowed.

Case II: \(x<0\)

\[ |x|=-x \]

\[ x-|x|=x-(-x)=2x \]

Since \(x<0\),

\[ 2x<0 \]

Not allowed.

Therefore, no real value satisfies the condition.

Domain:

\[ \phi \]

Hence,

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