Domain of a multiple logarithmic function.

139 Views Asked by At

Find the domain of the following function:

$f\left(x\right)=log_4\left(log_5\left(log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)\right)\right)$

My text provides a solution which goes like:

=> $log_5\left(log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)\right)>0$

=> $log_5\left(log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)\right)>log_51$

=> $log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)>1$

=> $log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)>log_33$

=> $18x-x^2-77>3$

=> $\left(x-8\right)\left(x-10\right)<0$

=> $8<x<10$ (Answer)

But what about

$log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)>0$ and $18x-x^2-77>0$.

Shouldn't we consider the above inequalities?

$$log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)>log_33\text{ and }log_33>0 \implies log_3\left(18x-x^2-77\right)>0$$ Also $$18x-x^2-77>3\implies 18x-x^2-77>0$$
