What is the domain of the function \(f(x)=\log_2(\log_3(\log_4x))\)?

We cannot take the log  of  0  or a negative

 

So....the domain is    (0,  inf )

Yeah..I see what you mean..let  me  think  about this

 

If x  = 4

 

Log 3 ( 1)   = 0

 

So  if x  >  4

log  4  ( x)   >   1

 

So  log3  ( x > 1)   will  be  >   0

 

So  log 2  (something >  0)   will exist

 

So...I think you are correct   macar0ni    ....   (4, inf)   !!!

 

THX for  pointing this one out to  me       ......just proves I shouldn't be too  hasty with my answers without thinking them through  !!!!
