Graphing Logarithmic Functions — Quiz

Question 10 • Mathematics III

What are the domain and range of f of x is equal to the log of open paren x plus 6 close paren minus 4 ?

Answer
A
domain : x is greater than 6 ; range: y is greater than negative 4
B
domain: x is greater than 6 ; range: all real numbers
C
domain: x is greater than negative 6 ; range: all real numbers
D
domain: x is greater than negative 6 ; range: y is greater than 4

Explanation

The logarithm is defined only when its argument is positive, so x + 6 > 0, which gives x > -6. A logarithmic function can take every real value, and subtracting 4 shifts its outputs without restricting them. Therefore the domain is x > -6 and the range is all real numbers, as stated in choice B.
