Functions Question 382

Question: The domain of the function $ f(x)=log_2( -{\log_{1/2}}( 1+\frac{1}{{x^{1/4}}} )-1 ) $ is

Options:

A) $ ( 0,1 ) $

B) $ ( 0,1 ] $

C) $ [1,\infty ) $

D) $ (1,\infty ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ f(x) $ is defined if $ -{\log_{1/2}}( 1+\frac{1}{{x^{1/4}}} )-1>0 $
$ \Rightarrow {\log_{1/2}}( 1+\frac{1}{{x^{1/4}}} )<-1 $
$ \Rightarrow 1+\frac{1}{{x^{1/4}}}>{{( \frac{1}{2} )}^{-1}} $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{x^{1/4}}}>1\Rightarrow 0<x<1 $
