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).

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
