Answer:
Therefore,
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let,
point L( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -6 , 2)
point M( x₂ , y₂ )≡ (x , 2)
l(AB) = 15 units (distance between points L and M)
To Find:
x = ?
Solution:
Distance formula between Two points is given as
Substituting the values we get
Square Rooting we get
As point M is located in the first quadrant
x coordinate and y coordinate are positive
So x = -21 DISCARDED
Hence,
Therefore,
Answer as an inequality:
Answer in interval notation:
Answer in words: Set of positive real numbers
All three represent the same idea, but in different forms.
======================================================
Explanation:
Any log is the inverse of an exponential equation. Consider a general base b such that f(x) = b^x. The inverse of this is
For the exponential b^x, we cannot have b^x = 0. We can get closer to it, but we can't actually get there. The horizontal asymptote is y = 0.
Because of this, has a vertical asymptote x = 0 (recall that x and y swap, so the asymptotes swap as well). This means we can get closer and closer to x = 0 from the positive side, but never reach x = 0 itself.
The domain of is x > 0 which in interval notation would be
. This is the interval from 0 to infinity, excluding both endpoints.
------------------------
The natural log function Ln(x) is a special type of log function where the base is b = e = 2.718 approximately.
So,
allowing all of what was discussed in the previous section to apply to this Ln(x) function as well.
------------------------
In short, the domain is the set of positive real numbers. We can't have x be 0 or negative.
