The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \log |4 - x^2| \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the function is defined. The logarithmic function is defined only for positive arguments, so we need to ensure that \( |4 - x^2| > 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set the argument of the logarithm greater than zero**: \[ |4 - x^2| > 0 \] This means that \( 4 - x^2 \) must not equal zero. 2. **Find when the expression inside the absolute value equals zero**: \[ 4 - x^2 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 = 4 \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ x = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -2 \] 3. **Identify the points where the function is not defined**: The points \( x = 2 \) and \( x = -2 \) make the argument of the logarithm zero, which is not allowed. Therefore, these points must be excluded from the domain. 4. **Write the domain**: The domain of the function is all real numbers except \( 2 \) and \( -2 \): \[ \text{Domain} = \mathbb{R} \setminus \{2, -2\} \] ### Final Answer: The domain of the function \( f(x) = \log |4 - x^2| \) is \( \mathbb{R} \setminus \{2, -2\} \).
