In #28:

ln(x² - 1):  ln(x) is defined only for positive values of x, so:  

     x² - 1 > 0     --->     x² > 1      --->     x > 1  or  x < -1

In the denominator:  x² - 2x  must be positive:

     x² - 2x  >  0      --->     x(x - 2) > 0      

     either x > 0 and x - 2 > 0     or  x < 0 and x - 2 < 0

     --->     x > 2  or  x < 0

Now put the first two answers with the second two answers and take the most restrictive cases:  x > 1 and x > 2 means x >2              X < -1 and x < 0 means x < -1

Therefore, it will be continuous in the region where x < -1 and again in the region where x > 2 (but not between these two regions).

I look at this problem this way:

         y = invSin(x+2)  --->  sin(y)  = x + 2  --->  x = sin(y) - 2.

The sin is only defined for values at least as large as -1 and no larger than +1; so sin(y) is pinned in this way:  -1 <= sin(y) <= 1;       this means that  x >= -3  and  x <= -1.

thank you geno3141 , now its very clear 

 

and for 26 the answer is  " when x greater than zero " right ?

The following graph should help you with question 26:

 

ln(sin x)

 

.

So, how can I write the interval

No 26 

f(x)=ln(sinx)

sinx must between -1 and 1

okay, ln(whatever)   The 'whatever' must be greater than 0.  You can only find the log of a positive number.

so ln(sinx) must be between 0 and 1       CORRECTION:    So sinx must be between 0 and 1

x must be in the 1st or second quadrant.

How about

 

$$2n\pi

 

I invite othe mathematicians to examine what I have said.

Melody, I don't understand the last part 

 

x must be in the 1st or second quadrant.

Hi 315  

You have picked me up on an error - that is good  

No 26 

"f(x)=ln(sinx)

sinx must between -1 and 1

okay, ln must be greater than 0

so ln(sinx) must be between 0 and 1       WRONG     sinx must be between 0 and 1.

------------------------------

I think I have made a 'wording' error here - It actually means that sinx must be between 0 and 1 because you cannot find the log of a negative number.

sin x is only positive in the first and the second quadrant.    etc

 

Does that make sense now?

amazing 

thank you melody 

so the interval is [ 0 , pi ]  right ?

No,

sin 0 = 0

ln(0) is undefined

same goes with x=pi

So

ONE of the intervals is (0,pi)

But to get all of them i will redirect you to my first answer

See on Alan's graph.

All the intervals where the blue graphs are will be alright.
