Answer: Domain is All Real Numbers, x = {1, -1}
Step-by-step explanation:
log₄² (1 + x²) = 0.25 restriction: 1 + x² ≥ 0 ⇒ x² ≥ -1 ⇒ x = ARN
log₄ (1 + x²) = 0.05
(1 + x²) = 4¹⁾²
1 + x² = 2
x² = 1
x = √1
x = +/- 1
Answer:
(-infinity, +infinity)
Step by-step explanation:
Here we're working with a log function. For any base, the domain is x > 0. If we focus on the argument of this particular log function, (1+x^2), we see that log (1+x^2) is defined for all x. No problem if x = 0 here; the "1" in (1+x^2) takes care of that. No problem if x grows very large; the log function can handle it.
Thus, we conclude that the domain of this function is
(-infinity, +infinity). Never mind that this function appears as part of an equation; our job is to find the domain of the logarithmic expression on the left side of the "=" sign.
