The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \[ f(x) = \log_{3} \log_{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{2} + 10x + 25) + \frac{1}{[x] + 5} \] we need to consider the restrictions imposed by the logarithmic functions and the greatest integer function. ### Step 1: Analyze the inner logarithm The inner logarithm is \[ \log_{\frac{1}{3}}(x^{2} + 10x + 25). \] For this logarithm to be defined, the argument must be positive: \[ x^{2} + 10x + 25 > 0. \] ### Step 2: Factor the quadratic expression The expression \(x^{2} + 10x + 25\) can be factored as: \[ (x + 5)^{2}. \] Since a square is always non-negative, we have: \[ (x + 5)^{2} \geq 0. \] This expression is equal to zero when \(x + 5 = 0\), or \(x = -5\). Therefore, the expression is positive for all \(x \neq -5\). ### Step 3: Analyze the base of the logarithm Next, we need to ensure that the logarithm does not evaluate to 1, since \(\log_{\frac{1}{3}}(1) = 0\) and this would make the outer logarithm undefined. Thus, we set: \[ x^{2} + 10x + 25 \neq 1. \] ### Step 4: Solve the inequality Setting the quadratic equal to 1 gives: \[ x^{2} + 10x + 25 - 1 = 0 \implies x^{2} + 10x + 24 = 0. \] We can factor this as: \[ (x + 6)(x + 4) = 0. \] Thus, \(x = -6\) or \(x = -4\). Therefore, \(x\) cannot equal -6 or -4. ### Step 5: Analyze the greatest integer function The term \(\frac{1}{[x] + 5}\) requires that the denominator cannot be zero: \[ [x] + 5 \neq 0 \implies [x] \neq -5. \] This means \(x\) cannot be in the interval \([-5, -4)\) because for any \(x\) in this interval, \([x] = -5\). ### Step 6: Combine the restrictions From the analysis, we have the following restrictions: 1. \(x \neq -5\) 2. \(x \neq -6\) 3. \(x \neq -4\) 4. \(x \in (-\infty, -5) \cup (-5, -4) \cup (-4, \infty)\) ### Final Domain Thus, the domain of the function \(f(x)\) can be expressed as: \[ (-\infty, -6) \cup (-6, -5) \cup (-5, -4) \cup (-4, \infty). \]
