SOLUTION: Find the domain of the function.
h(x) = ln[(x^2)/(x-4)]
What I have tried on the problem so far is as follows:
[(x^2)/(x-4)] > 0
(x-4) * [(x^2)/(x-4)] > 0 * (x-4)

Question 767173: Find the domain of the function.
h(x) = ln[(x^2)/(x-4)]
What I have tried on the problem so far is as follows:
[(x^2)/(x-4)] > 0
(x-4) * [(x^2)/(x-4)] > 0 * (x-4)
x^3 - 4x^2 > 0
x^2 (x-4) > 0
-(x-4) -(x-4)
x^2 > -x-4
+x +x
x^2 +x > -4

You started out ok. The argument of the log function must be strictly greater than zero.
But consider just your numerator: 
. So far, we have to exclude 0.
But the denominator is positive so long as 
, a restriction that includes 
Hence the domain is 
Note the strictly greater than relationship because the value 4 itself must be excluded to avoid division by zero.
