To find the domain of the function f(x)=10x211x+6+9x25x, we need to determine the values of x for which the expression under the square root is defined.

Simplify the expression under the square root:

10x211x+6+9x25x=x216x+6.

The expression under the square root must not be negative, as the square root of a negative number is not a real number. Therefore, we need to find the values of x for which x216x+60.

To solve this inequality, we can factor the quadratic expression:

x216x+6=(x2+16x6).

Now, we want to find the values of x that make the quadratic expression x2+16x6 non-negative. We can do this by finding the roots of the quadratic equation x2+16x6=0 and determining the intervals where the expression is positive or zero.

Factoring the quadratic equation x2+16x6=0 is a bit tricky, so we can use the quadratic formula:

x=b±b24ac2a.

In this case, a=1, b=16, and c=6, so the solutions are:

x=16±16241(6)21.

Simplifying this gives:

x=8±130.

Since the quadratic expression x2+16x6 opens upwards (the coefficient of x2 is positive), it is non-negative in the interval between its roots. Therefore, the values of x that satisfy x216x+60 are given by:

8130x8+130.

In interval notation, the domain of the function f(x) is:

[8130,8+130].
