There is a $16.80 tax on the rug

Explanation: When finding the tax you multiply the price of the item by the percentage of the tax, so in this case it would be $239.99 x .07 to get the product of 16.7993 then you would round it to get $16.80

What’s the domain and range of:<br> log(√(2x-1) + 3 )<br> Please explain how you got it too!!

Radda [10]

Two main facts are needed here:

1. The logarithm $\log x$ , regardless of the base of the logarithm, exists for $x>0$ .

2. The square root $\sqrt x$ exists for $x\ge0$ .

(in both cases we're assuming real-valued functions only)

By (2) we know that $\sqrt{2x-1}$ exists if $2x-1\ge0$ , or $x\ge\dfrac12$ .

By (1), we know that $\log(\sqrt{2x-1}+3)$ exists if $\sqrt{2x-1}+3>0$ , or $\sqrt{2x-1}>-3$ . But as long as the square root exists, it will always be positive, so this condition will always be met.

Ultimately, then, we only require $x\ge\dfrac12$ , so the function has domain $\left[\dfrac12,\infty)$ .

To determine the range, we need to know that, in their respective domains, $\sqrt x$ and $\log x$ increase monotonically without bound. We also know that $x=\dfrac12$ at minimum, at which point the square root term vanishes, so the least value the function takes on is $\log3$ . Then its range would be $[\log3,\infty)$ .
