You can put this solution on YOUR website!
what is the domain of the function g(x)=log base 4 (x-8)
.
The "domain" defines the possible values 'x' can take.
Since you can't take log of a negative number, this means:
x-8 >= 0
x >= 8 (this is the domain)
.
Or, it can be written as:
[8, +oo)
where
oo stands for infinity
