which is like problem 1, but here
2 2
3 3 0 , 3 3 x x + +

which looks like the domain should be
0 x but look at the fact that it came from 3 x so the domain is 3 x
9.10pts True-False:
a) The domain of a logarithmic function is the interval x > 1. FALSE [x > 0]
b) The range of the absolute value function is all positive real numbers. FALSE [all
non-negative numbers includes 0
c) The domain of f g + is the intersection of the domains of and f g . TRUE

you look carefully at the given function, youll see that the range of it is 3 y
