Step-by-step explanation:
Properties of Logs
logb(x/y) = log<span>bx</span> - log<span>by</span>.
therefore
log5 (4/7)= log5 (4)- log5 (7)
<span>Solve log 5 (4) and log 5 (7) with the base change of the logarithm</span>
<span>log 5 4 = log 4 / log 5 </span>
Use the calculator:
<span>
<span>log 5 4 =0.8613531161
</span></span>
log 5 7 = log 7 / log 5
<span>log 5 7 =1.2090619551</span>
<span>log5 (4/7)= log5
(4)- log5 (7)=-0.347708839</span>

now, for a rational expression, the domain, or "values that x can safely take", applies to the denominator NOT becoming 0, because if the denominator is 0, then the rational turns to
undefined.
now, what value of "x" makes this denominator turn to 0, let's check by setting it to 0 then.
![\bf 2-x^{12}=0\implies 2=x^{12}\implies \pm\sqrt[12]{2}=x\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-x^{12}}\qquad \boxed{x=\pm \sqrt[12]{2}}\qquad \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-(\pm\sqrt[12]{2})^{12}}\implies \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-\boxed{2}}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{x^2-9}{0}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%202-x%5E%7B12%7D%3D0%5Cimplies%202%3Dx%5E%7B12%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%3Dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A-------------------------------%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-x%5E%7B12%7D%7D%5Cqquad%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cqquad%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-%28%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%29%5E%7B12%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-%5Cboxed%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bund%20efined%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B0%7D%7D)
so, the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT that one.
Distribute first, combine the like terms and then add all of the sides up.
