Determine the domain for: g(x)= log7(x^2+12x+27)
-------
Solve x^2+12x+27 > 0
---------
Factor:
(x+3)(x+9) > 0
------
Draw and number line and plot x = -9 and x = -3
------
Find the intervals that satisfy the inequality:
(x+3)(x+9) > 0
Test x = -10 ; -*- > 0 ;;True
---------
Test x = -5 ; -*+ > 0 ;; False
---------
Test: x = 0 ; +*+ > 0 ;; True
-----
Domain: (-oo,-9)U(-3,+oo)
