Answer

$(-\infty,-2\sqrt 2]\cup[2\sqrt 2,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=\sqrt{2x^2-16}$. First determine the domain on which the function is defined: $2x^2-16\geq 0$ $2(x^2-8)\geq 0$ $2(x-2\sqrt 2)(x+2\sqrt 2)\geq 0$ $D=(-\infty,-2\sqrt 2]\cup[2\sqrt 2,\infty)$ $f(x)$ is a composed function of the functions $2x^2-16$ and $\sqrt x$. Both functions are continuous, therefore their composition is also continuous on the domain. The interval of continuity is: $(-\infty,-2\sqrt 2]\cup[2\sqrt 2,\infty)$
