6. If f(x)=x−2f(x) = \sqrt{x - 2}, find the domain of ff.

  1. Identify the restriction for the function.

    For a square root function f(x)=uf(x) = \sqrt{u}, the expression under the square root, uu, must be non-negative (greater than or equal to zero) for the function to produce real numbers.

  2. Set up the inequality.

    In this function, u=x−2u = x - 2. Therefore, we must have:

    x−2≥0x - 2 \ge 0
  3. Solve the inequality for xx.

    Add 2 to both sides:

    x≥2x \ge 2

    The domain of f(x)f(x) is all real numbers xx such that x≥2x \ge 2.

    The correct option is A.
    A. x≥2\boxed{\text{A. } x \ge 2}

    7. If α\alpha and β\beta are roots of x2−5x+6=0x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0, find an equation whose roots are (α−1)(\alpha - 1) and (β−1)(\beta - 1).

  4. Find the sum and product of the roots for the original equation.

    For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots is α+β=−ba\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} and the product of the roots is αβ=ca\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a}.
    For x2−5x+6=0x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0:

    α+β=−(−5)/1=5\alpha + \beta = -(-5)/1 = 5 αβ=6/1=6\alpha \beta = 6/1 = 6
  5. Find the sum of the new roots.

    Let the new roots be r1=α−1r_1 = \alpha - 1 and r2=β−1r_2 = \beta - 1.
    The sum of the new roots is:

    r1+r2=(α−1)+(β−1)r_1 + r_2 = (\alpha - 1) + (\beta - 1) r1+r2=α+β−2r_1 + r_2 = \alpha + \beta - 2

    Substitute the value of α+β\alpha + \beta:

    r1+r2=5−2=3r_1 + r_2 = 5 - 2 = 3
  6. Find the product of the new roots.

    The product of the new roots is:

    r1r2=(α−1)(β−1)r_1 r_2 = (\alpha - 1)(\beta - 1) r1r2=αβ−α−β+1r_1 r_2 = \alpha \beta - \alpha - \beta + 1 r1r2=αβ−(α+β)+1r_1 r_2 = \alpha \beta - (\alpha + \beta) + 1

    Substitute the values of αβ\alpha \beta and α+β\alpha + \beta:

    r1r2=6−(5)+1r_1 r_2 = 6 - (5) + 1 r1r2=6−5+1r_1 r_2 = 6 - 5 + 1 r1r2=2r_1 r_2 = 2
  7. Form the new quadratic equation.

    A quadratic equation with roots r1r_1 and r2r_2 is given by x2−(r1+r2)x+(r1r2)=0x^2 - (r_1 + r_2)x + (r_1 r_2) = 0.
    Substitute the sum and product of the new roots:

    x2−(3)x+(2)=0x^2 - (3)x + (2) = 0 x2−3x+2=0x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0

    The correct option is A.
    A. x2−3x+2=0\boxed{\text{A. } x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0}

    8. The argument of the complex number −1+3i-1 + \sqrt{3}i is:

  8. Identify the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.

    Let z=−1+3iz = -1 + \sqrt{3}i.
    The real part is a=−1a = -1.
    The imaginary part is b=3b = \sqrt{3}.

  9. Determine the quadrant of the complex number.

    Since a<0a < 0 and b>0b > 0, the complex number lies in the second quadrant.

  10. Calculate the reference angle.

    The reference angle α\alpha is given by tan⁡α=∣ba∣\tan \alpha = \left|\frac{b}{a}\right|.

    tan⁡α=∣3−1∣\tan \alpha = \left|\frac{\sqrt{3}}{-1}\right| tan⁡α=3\tan \alpha = \sqrt{3}

    The angle whose tangent is 3\sqrt{3} is π3\frac{\pi}{3} radians (or 60∘60^\circ).

    α=π3\alpha = \frac{\pi}{3}
  11. Calculate the argument.

    For a complex number in the second quadrant, the argument θ\theta is π−α\pi - \alpha.

    θ=π−π3\theta = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} θ=3π3−π3\theta = \frac{3\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{3} θ=2π3\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}

    The correct option is C.
    C. 2π3\boxed{\text{C. } \frac{2\pi}{3}}
