Find the domain of \(\displaystyle f(x) = \sqrt{20 x - 12} + 13\). Write the solution in interval notation.


The domain of a radical function is the solution to the inequality radicand \(\displaystyle \geq 0\). The inequality is \(\displaystyle 20 x - 12 \geq 0\). Isolating \(\displaystyle x\) gives \(\displaystyle 20 x \geq 12\) Dividing to finish isolating \(\displaystyle x\) gives \(\displaystyle x \geq \frac{3}{5}\). The domain is \(\displaystyle \left[\frac{3}{5}, \infty\right)\)
