Math Problem Statement

Find the domain of the function f(x) = 2^(3 / (4 - 3x)). Write your answer using interval notation.

Solution

To find the domain of the given function f(x)=2343xf(x) = 2^{\frac{3}{4-3x}}, we need to ensure that:

  1. The base of the exponent (2) is positive, so it will not introduce any restrictions.
  2. The denominator in the exponent, 43x4 - 3x, must not be zero because division by zero is undefined.

Steps:

  1. Solve for when 43x=04 - 3x = 0: 43x=0x=43.4 - 3x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{4}{3}.

  2. Therefore, the function is undefined at x=43x = \frac{4}{3}, and the domain excludes this value.

Domain in Interval Notation:

The domain is all real numbers except x=43x = \frac{4}{3}. In interval notation: (,43)(43,).(-\infty, \frac{4}{3}) \cup (\frac{4}{3}, \infty).

Let me know if you need further explanation or have any questions.
