Answer

(a) All points in 2-space on or between the vertical lines $x = ±2$ (b) All points in 2-space above the line $y = 2x$ (c) All points in 3-space not on the plane $x + y + z = 0$

Work Step by Step

(a) $f(x, y) = \frac{\sqrt (4-x^2)}{y^2+3}$ First, we find the domain; $4-x^2 \geq 0$ [NB: values under the square root must not be negative] $x^2\geq 4 => x \geq _{-}^+2$ $y^2 +3 \ne 0$ [NB: denomenator must not be zero] $y^2\ne -3$ Domain = {$x, y \in R$ and $x \geq _{-}^+2$ and $y^2\ne -3$} (b) $f(x, y) = \ln(y-2x)$ First, we find the domain; $y-2x\gt0$ [NB: values under log must not be zero or negative] $y\gt2x$ Domain = {$x, y \in R$ and $y\gt2x$} (c) $f(x, y, z) = \frac{xyz}{x+y+z}$ First, we find the domain; $x+y+z \ne 0$ [NB: denomenator must not be zero] Domain = {$x, y, z \in R$ and $x+y+z \ne 0$} Therefore the domains help us to describe the domain in words
