If I have a function f(x) e.g. f(x)=x^2 and let the CP draw the graph I get the whole graph. Now i need only the part where (e.g.) x>0 (I think this is called "domain" in english). How do I add that? Is it possible?

Ok it works with the graph but if I type solve((x^2=9)|x>0,x) it says {x=-3,x=3}. With solve((x^2=9)|x>3,x) it says "No Solution" which is correct. Why is that so?

Both are!
{x=-3,x=3} is the solution, by excluding it (x>3) there is "No Solution".

Yeah, of course both are solutions but i typed solve((x^2=9)|x>0,x) so that the only answer should be {x=3} shouldn't it?

Pardon, but I do not speak English

Graphic
y=x^2|x>0
y=9
G solve intersect
x=3

You should write solve(x^2=9)|x>0, no parenthesis outside the expresion!, because the operator "|" is a general operator, it is not a solve operator, therefore solve ignore it.
