Which of the following is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain of the logarithmic function f(x) = log2x is all real numbers. The range of the logarithmic function f(x) = log2x is all real numbers less than zero A logarithmic function is the inverse of an exponential function. The base of a logarithmic function can be a negative number.

"hints": The domain of all log functions (to any base) cannot be negative. The range of all log functions is all real. The base of a log function cannot be negative. The inverse of a log function is the exponential function.

*Hint* Definition of log_b(x) = y is x = b^(y) Just say you had 10^(x) = y you will notice that no matter what number you sub into x you will never get y = 0. If you take the log of 10^(x) = y you are left with log(y) = x Thus you should realize that the domain of a logarithmic function can never be equal to zero You should also notice that any number can be subbed into x in this equation. as anything to the power of 0 is equal to 1

So it's The domain of the logarithmic function f(x) = log2x is all real numbers.
