What is the domain of the function f(x) = log5x?

OpenStudy (lilymq):

Is it all real numbers less than zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO IT IS FROM (0,OO)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there any number that would make this function undefined?

OpenStudy (lilymq):

Any number less than 0?

OpenStudy (lilymq):

Sorry I'm terrible at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then .....domain is everything but that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any number greater than 0, 0 is a horizontal asymptote

OpenStudy (lilymq):

oh alright. well here is the actual question. Which of the following is true? The base of a logarithmic function can be a negative number. The range of the function f(x) = log5x is all real numbers. The base of a logarithmic function can be zero. The domain of the function f(x) = log5x is all real numbers less than zero.

OpenStudy (lilymq):

I've ruled out the 3rd, and now the fourth option

OpenStudy (lilymq):

I don't think the first option is true, is it the second one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is a pic of a f(x)=log(x)

OpenStudy (lilymq):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the range of F(X)= log 5x is from (-oo,oo)

OpenStudy (lilymq):

so I was correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lilymq):

oooh yay thank you!

OpenStudy (nurali):

i think The range of the function f(x) = log5x is all real numbers.

OpenStudy (lilymq):

Awesome thanks guys
