Which one of the following is correct in respect of f(x) = 1/√(|x| - x) and g(x) = 1/√(x - |x|) ?

  1. A.f(x) has some domain and g(x) has no domain✓ Correct
  2. B.f(x) has no domain and g(x) has some domain
  3. C.f(x) and g(x) have the same domain
  4. D.f(x) and g(x) do not have any domain

Explanation

For f(x) = 1/√(|x| - x): we need |x| - x > 0. If x ≥ 0, |x| - x = 0 (not > 0). If x < 0, |x| - x = -x - x = -2x > 0. So f is defined for x < 0, i.e., f has domain (-∞, 0). For g(x) = 1/√(x - |x|): we need x - |x| > 0. If x ≥ 0, x - |x| = 0. If x < 0, x - |x| = x - (-x) = 2x < 0. So g(x) has no real domain. Therefore f has some domain and g has no domain.
