Math Problem Statement

Domain of 1-lnx

Solution

To find the domain of the function f(x)=1ln(x)f(x) = 1 - \ln(x), we need to consider the properties of the natural logarithm function, ln(x)\ln(x).

Key property of the natural logarithm:

  • The natural logarithm ln(x)\ln(x) is only defined for positive real numbers. In other words, ln(x)\ln(x) is defined if and only if x>0x > 0.

Thus, the expression ln(x)\ln(x) in 1ln(x)1 - \ln(x) implies that xx must be greater than 0.

Domain of f(x)f(x):

The domain of f(x)=1ln(x)f(x) = 1 - \ln(x) is:

x>0x > 0

In interval notation, the domain is: (0,)(0, \infty)

Summary:

The function 1ln(x)1 - \ln(x) is defined for all xx in the interval (0,)(0, \infty).

  2. How would the domain change if the function was 1+ln(x)1 + \ln(x)?
  3. What happens to the graph of f(x)=1ln(x)f(x) = 1 - \ln(x) as xx approaches infinity?
  4. How do you find the inverse of the function f(x)=1ln(x)f(x) = 1 - \ln(x)?
  5. What is the derivative of f(x)=1ln(x)f(x) = 1 - \ln(x)?

Tip:

Always remember that the natural logarithm is undefined for non-positive values of xx. So the domain will always exclude zero and negative numbers.
