what us the range of the function shown?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$f(x)=\log_{5} (x+2)$$

anonymous · Answer

so how did you get that?

anonymous · Answer

so what does the +2 mean?

anonymous · Answer

the $+2$ means when you take a number, first you add $2$ and then you take the log

anonymous · Answer

that does not change the range, but it does change the domain

anonymous · Answer

for example, if $x=23$ then you get 
$$\log_5(23+2)=\log_5(25)=2$$

anonymous · Answer

hmm (10,inf.) is not part of the multiply choice list

anonymous · Answer

im meann (0, inf)

anonymous · Answer

that was my example for $\log(x)+10$, not for your problem

anonymous · Answer

really?  what are your choices?

anonymous · Answer

a. all real numbers between -2 and 0
b. all real numbers less than 0
c. all real numbers
d. all real numbers greater than or equal to -2

anonymous · Answer

you sure it says "range" and not "domain"?

anonymous · Answer

i am positive looking at it now

anonymous · Answer

and it is certainly $\log_5(x+2)$ right?  not something else, like say 
$$\log_5(x)+2$$

anonymous · Answer

not its the 1st one

anonymous · Answer

oohh i am an idiot, sorry, sorry
go with "all real numbers"

anonymous · Answer

how did you come to that conclusion?

anonymous · Answer

because i am brain dead
the range of log is always $(-\infty, \infty)$ not what i said before
i should go to bed

anonymous · Answer

thank you very much, you were right!
