Can someone help

#

Q 7 8

autumn zinc
#

that is unreadable

#

ill try tho

#

domain: x=>5

junior hamlet
#

This is clear pic

autumn zinc
#

cuz ln(x-4) = 0, x-4 = 1, x = 5

junior hamlet
#

Why is it equal to 1

#

X-4

autumn zinc
#

cuz e^0 = 1

junior hamlet
#

oh

autumn zinc
#

cuz im making both sides e^

junior hamlet
#

Okay

#

U r both sides

#

Yh make sense

autumn zinc
#

wait what does it mean by largest possible domain

junior hamlet
#

The answe is x>= 5

autumn zinc
#

oh ok so it just means domain

junior hamlet
#

I think u just have to put the greater then equal to inequality

#

Yh Yh

autumn zinc
#

then for 8

junior hamlet
#

I wasn’t in skl for this topic so I’m struggling

autumn zinc
#

u merge the fractions into 1

#

and make the denominator = 0

junior hamlet
#

Yh

autumn zinc
#

and find what values of x is not 0

junior hamlet
#

Ok

#

Can u try the tohers if u have time

#

Like what to do

autumn zinc
#

oh and x should also be greater than >=1

autumn zinc
junior hamlet

junior hamlet
#

how can I learn functions Myslef I was away and missed lessons

autumn zinc
#

root cannot be negative

autumn zinc
#

thats about it really

junior hamlet
#

Alright

autumn zinc
junior hamlet
#

I have 10 11 and 12 left

#

Is 10 the same concept as 7

autumn zinc
#

the thing inside ln cannot be negative

autumn zinc
autumn zinc
# junior hamlet

for 11, denomnator cannot be 0, and the thing inside the root cannot be negative

junior hamlet
#

Ok thanks

#

Also@

autumn zinc
#

np

junior hamlet
autumn zinc
# junior hamlet

12, the root and ln cannot be less than 0, so just work around that

autumn zinc
# junior hamlet

i think one one means that there are never 2 same values of x or y

junior hamlet
#

Okay thanks a lot bro

hollow blaze
#

It will intersection the x axis at 5 but ye that doesn't mean anything bout the domain tho ?

autumn zinc
#

lnx where x<1, is negative

#

u cannot have a root of a negative number

#

so root(ln(x))

hollow blaze
autumn zinc
#

the domain starts at x=1

hollow blaze
#

I don't get what u r trying to say

autumn zinc
#

since its x-4, it shifts by 4 to the right so domain starts at 5

autumn zinc
hollow blaze
autumn zinc
#

so here, its root(ln(x))

hollow blaze
#

Yep

autumn zinc
#

it starts at 1 because, if x was less than 1, lnx would be negative right?

hollow blaze
#

I see

autumn zinc
#

such as ln0.5 = -2 i think

hollow blaze
#

Yea yea

autumn zinc
#

wait no it doesnt im stupid

#

but whatever ln0.5<0

hollow blaze
#

😭😭what ?

autumn zinc
#

ignore that LOL

#

my brain didnt work for a sec

hollow blaze
#

Yea log of any number less than 1 is negative

autumn zinc
#

mhm

hollow blaze
#

Also I was wondering if the base is less than 1 does that also make it negative ?

autumn zinc
hollow blaze
#

Yea

autumn zinc
#

uhhh i think so

#

leme check

#

wait no

#

no it doesnt

#

log,2 base 0.5 is positivre

hollow blaze
autumn zinc
#

=4

hollow blaze
#

Let me just bring up the question again lol

autumn zinc
#

oh wait ur the same guy as kyz?

#

nvm

hollow blaze
#

Wdym same guy ?😭😭

autumn zinc
#

BRO MY BRAIN IS NOT HERE

hollow blaze
autumn zinc
#

ok ignore me again

hollow blaze
#

Okay so

#

Ln(x-4) has to be positive

#

To do that x-4 must be greater than 1

#

Cuz log off any number less than 1 would make it a fraction ahh I see nvm

autumn zinc
#

yep

hollow blaze
autumn zinc
#

np!

#

sry i was a bit doodoo here and there

#

i just came back from school thas why

#

my brain a lil fried
