The correct Answer is:
To determine the values of \( x \) for which the functions \( f(x) = \log(x-1) - \log(x-2) \) and \( g(x) = \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) \) are identical, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \( f(x) \) Using the properties of logarithms, we can rewrite \( f(x) \): \[ f(x) = \log(x-1) - \log(x-2) = \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) \] ### Step 2: Set the functions equal Now that we have rewritten \( f(x) \), we can set the two functions equal to each other: \[ \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) = \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) \] This shows that the two functions are equal for all \( x \) in their domain, provided that the arguments of the logarithms are positive. ### Step 3: Determine the domain of \( f(x) \) For \( f(x) \) to be defined, the arguments of the logarithms must be positive: 1. \( x - 1 > 0 \) implies \( x > 1 \) 2. \( x - 2 > 0 \) implies \( x > 2 \) The stricter condition is \( x > 2 \). Thus, the domain of \( f(x) \) is: \[ x \in (2, \infty) \] ### Step 4: Determine the domain of \( g(x) \) For \( g(x) \) to be defined, the argument of the logarithm must also be positive: \[ \frac{x-1}{x-2} > 0 \] This inequality holds when both the numerator and denominator are either both positive or both negative. 1. **Both positive**: - \( x - 1 > 0 \) implies \( x > 1 \) - \( x - 2 > 0 \) implies \( x > 2 \) Thus, for both to be positive, \( x > 2 \). 2. **Both negative**: - \( x - 1 < 0 \) implies \( x < 1 \) - \( x - 2 < 0 \) implies \( x < 2 \) Thus, for both to be negative, \( x < 1 \). Combining these, the domain of \( g(x) \) is: \[ x \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, \infty) \] ### Step 5: Find the intersection of the domains The domains of \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are: - \( f(x): (2, \infty) \) - \( g(x): (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, \infty) \) The intersection of these two domains is: \[ (2, \infty) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \( x \) for which the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are identical is: \[ x \in (2, \infty) \]

To determine the values of \( x \) for which the functions \( f(x) = \log(x-1) - \log(x-2) \) and \( g(x) = \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) \) are identical, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \( f(x) \) Using the properties of logarithms, we can rewrite \( f(x) \): \[ f(x) = \log(x-1) - \log(x-2) = \log\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right) \] ...
