Question

Which description compares the domains of function A and Function B correctly?

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice B is correct; the domain of function A is the set of real numbers greater than 0  

The domain of the function B is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function refers to the set of x-values for which the function is real and defined. The graph of function B reveals that the function is defined when x is equal 1 and beyond; that is its domain is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to 1 written in interval notation as;

$[1, infinity)$

On the other hand, the natural logarithm function is defined everywhere on the real line except when x =0; this will imply that its domain  is the set of real numbers greater than 0 . In fact, the y-axis or the line x =0 is a vertical asymptote of the natural log function; meaning that its graph approaches this line indefinitely but neither touches nor crosses it.

Answer 2

Answer:

B- the domain of function A is the set of real numbers is greater than 0  

The domain of the function B is the set of real numbers greater than or equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The function A is $f(x) = log(x)$

By definition we know that the function $f(x) = log(x)$ is not defined for values of $x\leq0$

Therefore the domain of $f(x) = log(x)$ is:

All real numbers greater than 0.

$x> 0$

Function B shown in the graph is a curve that goes in x from x = 1 to infinity.

Therefore it can be seen that the domain of this function is:

all real numbers greater than or equal to 1.

$x\geq 1$.

Therefore the correct option is B.
