Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the domains of three functions involving logarithmic and square root expressions. The functions in question are 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)).

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Some participants suggest examining the graphs of the functions to gain insight into their domains. Others raise questions about the conditions under which the logarithmic and square root functions are defined, specifically addressing the constraints that must be met for the arguments of these functions to be valid.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring various aspects of the problem. Some guidance has been provided regarding the need to avoid division by zero and the implications of taking square roots of negative numbers. However, there is no explicit consensus on the domains yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the assumption that the functions are real-valued, which influences their considerations regarding the domains.

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:

Show how to determine the domain of each of the following functions:
a) f(x) = ln(1 - ln(x))
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?

Can somebody show me how to do these questions?
