Math Problem Statement
Find the domain of y = log(2 - 6x).
Solution
To find the domain of the function , we need to remember that the argument inside the logarithm must be positive. Specifically, the expression must satisfy:
Solve the inequality:
Now, divide both sides by 6:
Simplifying:
Thus, the domain is:
Final answer:
The domain is .
