Math Problem Statement
let f(x)=ln(x+2), x>-2 and g(x)=e^(x-4), x>0. write down the x intercept of the graph of f
Solution
The function has a domain of , since the natural logarithm requires a positive argument.
To find the x-intercept of the graph of , we set and solve for :
Recall that . Therefore, we have:
Solving for :
Thus, the x-intercept of the graph of is at .
