Find the domain of 1/sqrt(3x-2) for the expression to produce a real number?

First, we have to notice that the domain for 1/sqrt (3x-2) is the same with the domain for sqrt (3x-2), excepting the values for x which is cancelling the denominator.


Let's find this excepted value for x (we've considered from the beginning that it's just a single value, based on the fact that the expression is a linear equation, with a single solution).


3x-2 = 0


We'll add 2, both sides of the equation:


3x-2+2=2


3x=2


We'll divide by3, both sides:


x = 2/3.


So, the excluded value for x = 2/3.


Now, let's find the domain for sqrt(3x-2).


For sqrt(3x-2) to exists, the expression (3x-2)>0


So, reiterating the same steps to find the excepted value for x, we'll find that x>2/3.


So the domain of definition is the ineterval (2/3, inf).

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
