domain of ln(x^2+2x-3)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

spose we had ln(u) what is the domain ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-(infinity),infinity)?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

um, ln(-4) is not defined for real numbers is it? so -4 at least is not in the domain of ln(u)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ln is only defined for inputs that are greater than 0 therefore the argument used has to be greater than 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

soo, we need to determine when x^2+2x-3 > 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>1 x>-3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

one of your signs is backwards i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3,infinity)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x < -3 or 1 < x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(-inf,-3) u (1,inf)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k
