Find the Domain
Problem
Solution
Identify the type of function provided. The expression
P(11) is a specific value of an exponential functionP(t)=5000*e^(k*t) wheret=11 Analyze the components of the expression for potential restrictions. The expression contains an exponential function
e^u and a natural logarithmln(x) Check the argument of the natural logarithm. The argument is
14/5 which is a positive constant. Since14/5>0 the logarithm is defined.Check the exponent for division by zero. The denominator in the exponent is
8^11 which is a non-zero constant.Determine the domain of the underlying function
P(t) Exponential functions of the forma⋅e^ƒ(t) are defined for all real numberst as long asƒ(t) is defined. Sinceƒ(t)=ln(14/5)/8^t (assuming the task implies a general function) or simply a constant value in this specific case, there are no values oft that make the expression undefined.Conclude that the domain of the function
P(t) is all real numbers.
