You can use the definition of logarithm and the fact that a positive number raised to any power will always stay bigger than 0.

The domain of the given function is  {x | x > 1 and a real number }

The range of the given function is \mathbb R (set of real numbers)

<h3>What is the definition of logarithm?</h3>

If a is raised to power b is resulted as c, then we can rewrite it that b equals to the logarithm of c with base a.

Or, symbolically:

a^b =  c \implies b = log_a(c)

Since c was the result of a raised to power b, thus, if a was a positive number, then a raised to any power won't go less or equal to zero, thus making c > 0

<h3>How to use this definition to find the domain and range of given function?</h3>

Since log(x-1) is with base 10 (when base of log isn't specified, it is assumed to be with base 10) (when log is written ln, it is log with base e =2.71828.... ) thus, we have a = 10 > 0 thus the input x-1 > 0 too.

Or we have:

x > 1 as the restriction.

Thus domain of the given function is {x | x > 1 and a real number }

Now from domain, we have:

x >  1\\&#10;x-1 > 0\\&#10;log(x-1) > -\infty\\&#10;log(x-1) + 2 > -\infty\\&#10;f(x) > -\infty (log(x-1) > -infinity since log(0) on right side have arbitrary negatively large value which is denoted by -infinity)

Thus, range of given function  is whole real number set \mathbb R (since all finite real numbers are bigger than negative infinity)

Thus, the domain of the given function is  {x | x > 1 and a real number }

The range of the given function is \mathbb R (set of real numbers

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the profit in the case when the shop is closed for 6 hours is $41

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the profit in the case when the shop is closed for 6 hours is shown below:

= Expression of the situation × number of hours in which the shop is closed

= 45 - 2 ÷ 3 × 6 hours

= $41

hence, the profit in the case when the shop is closed for 6 hours is $41

Therefore the third option is correct

Taylor surveys students in one grade level who own at least one pet. She finds that 50% of the students surveyed own 2 pets, 3 s
Llana [10]
First, we need to work out the total number of students who were being surveyed.

We know that half of the students has two pets. The rest of the students make up the other half. So, we have 3 students + 2 students + 8 students = 13 students that make half of the sample population

That means total number of students being surveyed is 13+13=26 students

Then we work out the probability
P(One pet) = 8/26 = 4/13
P(Two pets) = 1/2
P(Three pets) = 3/26
P( Four pets) = 2/26 = 1/13

The probability distribution is shown in the table below. Let x be the number of pets and P(X=x) is the probability of owning the number of pets
