AI Thread Summary
To determine the domain of the functions f(x) = ln(1 - ln(x)), g(x) = (x^2 - 1)/(x^4・e^(2x) - 2x^2・e^(2x) - 8e^(2x)), and h(x) = sqrt(6 - e^(-5t)), specific conditions must be met. For f(x), the argument of the natural logarithm must be positive, requiring 1 - ln(x) > 0, which leads to x > e. For g(x), the denominator cannot equal zero, necessitating the solution of x^4・e^(2x) - 2x^2・e^(2x) - 8e^(2x) = 0 to find excluded values. For h(x), the expression under the square root must be non-negative, meaning 6 - e^(-5t) ≥ 0, which constrains t to be greater than or equal to a certain value. Understanding these conditions is essential for identifying the domains of the given functions.

Show how to determine the domain of each of the following functions:
a) f(x) = ln(1 - ln(x))
b) g(x)=(x^2 -1)/(x^4・e^2x - 2x^2・e^2x - 8e^2x)
c) h(x)= sqrt(6-e^-5t)
Can somebody show me how to do these questions?

Could you possibly try looking at the graphs?:wink:

What is the domain of ln(x)? For what x is 1- ln(x) in that set?

b) g(x)=(x^2 -1)/(x^4・e^2x - 2x^2・e^2x - 8e^2x)
You can not divide by 0. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x. Whatever x you get is not in the domain.

c) h(x)= sqrt(6-e^-5t)
You cannot take the sqrt of a negative number (asssuming that these are real valued functions). For what t is 6- e^(5t) negative?

Thank you very much!
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
