Answers:
(i)
Square of a real number is not negative.
f (x) takes real values only when 9 – x2 ≥ 0
9 ≥ x2
x2 ≤ 9
x2 – 9 ≤ 0
x2 – 32 ≤ 0
(x + 3)(x – 3) ≤ 0
x ≥ –3 and x ≤ 3
x ∈ [–3, 3]
∴ Domain (f) = [–3, 3]
(ii)
Square root of a real number is never negative.
f (x) takes real values only when x – 2 and 3 – x are both positive and negative.
When x – 2 and 3 – x are positive
x – 2 ≥ 0
x ≥ 2
3 – x ≥ 0
x ≤ 3
x ≥ 2 and x ≤ 3
∴ x ∈ [2, 3]
When, x – 2 and 3 – x are negative
x – 2 ≤ 0
x ≤ 2
3 – x ≤ 0
x ≥ 3
x ≤ 2 and x ≥ 3
Intersection of these sets is null set.
x ∈ [2, 3] – {3}
x ∈ [2, 3]
∴ Domain (f) = [2, 3]
