Question:

The domain of the function $f(x)= log (x^2-4)$ is :

Options:

[2, ∞)

(-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)

(2, ∞)

(-∞, -2] ∪ (-2, -1)

Correct Answer:

(-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $(-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)$

$f(x)= \log (x^2-4)$

$(x^2-4)>0⇒(x-2)(x+2)>0$

using wavy curve method

$x∈(-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)$
