What is the domain of f(x)=1/√(x^2−2x−8)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (-∞,-2) ∪ (4,∞)

Two restrictions must be applied because the square root is in the denominator. First, the radicand must be nonnegative for a real square root; second, the denominator cannot be zero. Together these require x^2−2x−8 > 0. Factoring gives (x−4)(x+2)>0. A product of two factors is positive outside its roots, so x<−2 or x>4. The endpoints x=−2 and x=4 are excluded because the radicand becomes zero and the denominator would be zero. Thus the domain is (-∞,-2)∪(4,∞), option A. Option B incorrectly includes the undefined endpoints, option C chooses the interval where the expression is negative, and option D omits only the roots while wrongly including points between them.
