Explain why x=-8 is not part of the domain of the function y=log2(x)

Mathematics

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of the logarithm, if we have:

y=\log_{2}x

This means that we have some value <em>y</em> such that:

\displaystyle 2^y=x

If <em>x</em> is -8, then:

2^y=-8

As you can see,<em> </em>there is no real value* that can make the result negative. No matter what the value of <em>y</em> is, we will simply get another positive value.

So, -8 or any other negative value or zero is not included in our domain. 0 is not included because, likewise, we can’t raise 2 to a power and get 0 as a result.

*There is no <em>real</em> value for which 2 raised to <em>y</em> is -8. However, as you will learn much much later, there are in fact <em>infinitely</em> many <em>complex </em>(imaginary) solutions such that 2 raised to <em>y </em>is indeed -8.

Lisa draws a circle by tracing around the bottom of block. which could be the shape of Lisa's block
Andrej [43]
Let's think of something that one can hold against a page and draw a circle. Some examples are: a cup, a D battery, a can of soda, the tube from the inside of a paper towel roll, a can of beans, etc.

Think of the can of beans. The part that touches the page (and that you trace around with your pencil) is called a face.What these items have in common is that the faces at the ends are circles (they may or may not be the same size).

The name for this 3-D figure is called a cylinder. Her block, therefore, is a cylinder.

Technically, if the ends were ovals we would still call it a cylinder and so to make sure you have the one with the circles at the ends you would say you have a "right circular cylinder" but for most cases people just say "cylinder" and assume the ends are circles. It really depends what level (elementary, middle school, hs, college) of math you are doing whether just cylinder suffices.
