Try out this one :

f(x) = [log x2 - 1 (x)]

Find the domain of the function.

Actually that wont work bcos for x belonging to (1,sqrt(2)) x^2-1 will be less than 1 and x>1 so the log value will become negative

the quantity inside the square root must be positive

x^2 - 1<= x

that implies x belongs to [(1-rt5)/2 , (1+rt5)/2]

and x^2 - 1 must be >1

that implies x>rt2

so the domain of the given function is (rt2,(1+rt5)/2]

thanq 'twas a good question

EDIT: Sorry, I found my mistake!!!

Talk less work more!! {To be simplistic and gain respect}

Eat less work more!!! {To "build" ur body}

Work less Do more!!! {2 make ur life big}












don't get scared !!!

that is again stupidity. Why doesnt x=2 and all all? Personally i believe that the condn x^2 - 1 <= x is false, it isnt necessary :) the only necessary thing is that the parity of log x and logx^2-1 shd be the same and hence the answer is x belongs to
(sqrt(2), infinity) :)

a) x>0
b) x^2-1>0 ,x^2-1 1(not equal to1)
c) when x>1,x^2-1 >1
d) when x<1 x^2-1<1

by the left!!!
forward march!!!

Rohit is absolutely right.
 
f(x) = sqrt{log_{x^2-1}x}
 
Hence, the following must hold true
 
x>0, x^2-1>0, x^2 -1 
e 1 and
 
log_{x^2-1} x ge 0
 
The first set of conditions gives
 
 x>1 \ \text{and} \ x \ne \sqrt2
 
Now if log_{x^2-1} x ge 0,
 
ln{x} ge 0  	ext{and}  ln{(x^2-1)} > 0  	ext {or} \ \

ln{x} le 0  	ext{and}  ln{(x^2-1)} < 0
 
The second possibility does not occur as x>1.
 
For the first condition to be satisfied, we must have x \ge 1 \ \text{and} \ x^2-1 > 1
 
Hence the domain is (sqrt2, infty)
