Step-by-step solution

  1. Solve the geometry problem.

    1) Write the relation that links xx to the number f(x)f(x).
    The point MM lies on a semicircle with diameter [AB][AB]. According to Thales' theorem, the angle ∠AMB\angle AMB is a right angle. Therefore, △AMB\triangle AMB is a right-angled triangle at MM.
    Given AM=xAM = x and BM=f(x)BM = f(x), and the diameter AB=2AB = 2.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem:

    AM2+BM2=AB2AM^2 + BM^2 = AB^2 x2+(f(x))2=22x^2 + (f(x))^2 = 2^2 x2+(f(x))2=4x^2 + (f(x))^2 = 4

    To express f(x)f(x) in terms of xx:

    (f(x))2=4−x2(f(x))^2 = 4 - x^2

    Since BMBM is a distance, f(x)f(x) must be non-negative.

    f(x)=4−x2f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2}

    The relation is f(x)=4−x2\boxed{f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2}}.

    2) a- Calculate the distance BMBM in the case AM=23AM = \frac{2}{3}.
    Given AM=x=23AM = x = \frac{2}{3}. Substitute this value into the function f(x)f(x):

    BM=f(23)=4−(23)2BM = f\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) = \sqrt{4 - \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2} BM=4−49BM = \sqrt{4 - \frac{4}{9}} BM=369−49BM = \sqrt{\frac{36}{9} - \frac{4}{9}} BM=329BM = \sqrt{\frac{32}{9}} BM=329BM = \frac{\sqrt{32}}{\sqrt{9}} BM=16×23BM = \frac{\sqrt{16 \times 2}}{3} BM=423BM = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}

    The distance BMBM is 423\boxed{\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}}.

    2) b- What are the numbers xx that have an image by the function ff? This set of numbers is called the domain of definition of the function ff and is denoted by DfD_f.
    The function is f(x)=4−x2f(x) = \sqrt{4 - x^2}. For f(x)f(x) to be defined, the expression under the square root must be non-negative:

    4−x2≥04 - x^2 \ge 0 x2≤4x^2 \le 4

    This implies −2≤x≤2-2 \le x \le 2.
    Additionally, xx represents the distance AMAM, so xx must be non-negative (x≥0x \ge 0).
    Combining x≥0x \ge 0 and −2≤x≤2-2 \le x \le 2, the possible values for xx are 0≤x≤20 \le x \le 2.
    The domain of definition DfD_f is [0,2]\boxed{[0, 2]}.

  2. Determine the domain of definition for the given functions.

    3) Determine the domain of definition for the following functions:

    • For f1:x↦1xf_1: x \mapsto \frac{1}{x}: The denominator cannot be zero.
    x≠0x \ne 0

    The domain is Df1=R∖{0}D_{f_1} = \boxed{\mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}}.

    • For f2:x↦xf_2: x \mapsto \sqrt{x}: The expression under the square root must be non-negative.
    x≥0x \ge 0

    The domain is Df2=[0,+∞)D_{f_2} = \boxed{[0, +\infty)}.

    • For f3:x↦x+2f_3: x \mapsto \sqrt{x+2}: The expression under the square root must be non-negative.
    x+2≥0x+2 \ge 0 x≥−2x \ge -2

    The domain is Df3=[−2,+∞)D_{f_3} = \boxed{[-2, +\infty)}.

    • For f4:x↦3x2+x+1f_4: x \mapsto 3x^2+x+1: This is a polynomial function, which is defined for all real numbers. The domain is Df4=RD_{f_4} = \boxed{\mathbb{R}}.

    • For f5:x↦xx2−1f_5: x \mapsto x\sqrt{x^2-1}: The expression under the square root must be non-negative.

    x2−1≥0x^2-1 \ge 0 x2≥1x^2 \ge 1

    This implies x≤−1x \le -1 or x≥1x \ge 1. The domain is Df5=(−∞,−1]∪[1,+∞)D_{f_5} = \boxed{(-\infty, -1] \cup [1, +\infty)}.

    • For f6:x↦2x+1xf_6: x \mapsto \frac{\sqrt{2x+1}}{x}: Two conditions must be met:
    1. The expression under the square root must be non-negative: 2x+1≥0  ⟹  2x≥−1  ⟹  x≥−122x+1 \ge 0 \implies 2x \ge -1 \implies x \ge -\frac{1}{2}.
    2. The denominator cannot be zero: x≠0x \ne 0. Combining these conditions, xx must be greater than or equal to −12-\frac{1}{2} and not equal to 0. The domain is Df6=[−12,0)∪(0,+∞)D_{f_6} = \boxed{\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right) \cup (0, +\infty)}.
    • For f7:x↦x2+x−2x−1f_7: x \mapsto \frac{\sqrt{x^2+x-2}}{x-1}: Two conditions must be met:
    1. The expression under the square root must be non-negative: x2+x−2≥0x^2+x-2 \ge 0. Factor the quadratic: (x+2)(x−1)≥0(x+2)(x-1) \ge 0. The roots are x=−2x=-2 and x=1x=1. The parabola opens upwards, so the expression is non-negative when x≤−2x \le -2 or x≥1x \ge 1.
    2. The denominator cannot be zero: x−1≠0  ⟹  x≠1x-1 \ne 0 \implies x \ne 1. Combining these conditions: x≤−2x \le -2 or x≥1x \ge 1, and x≠1x \ne 1. This means x≤−2x \le -2 or x>1x > 1. The domain is Df7=(−∞,−2]∪(1,+∞)D_{f_7} = \boxed{(-\infty, -2] \cup (1, +\infty)}.
