Problem
Find the domain of the real-valued function Give the endpoints in your answer as common fractions, not mixed numbers or decimals.
Solution
We need . The quadratic factors as Thus the zeroes of the quadratic are at and . Since the quadratic opens downward, it is nonnegative between the zeroes. So the domain is .
Final answer
\left[-\frac{3}{2}, \frac{2}{5}\right]
