Question:

Domain of definition of the function $f(x)=\frac{3}{4-x^2}+\log_{10}(x^3-x)$ is:

Options:

(1, 2)

(-1, 0) ∪ (1, 2)

(1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

(-1, 0) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Correct Answer:

(-1, 0) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Explanation:

$4-x^2≠0⇒x^2≠4⇒x≠±2$

so $x^3-x>0⇒(x)(x-1)(x+1)>0$

Using wavy curve method

$x∈(-1, 0) ∪ (1, ∞)$

$⇒x∈(-1, 0) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)$
