Combining functions and finding domain

$f(x) = ln (2 - x)$



$g(x) = frac {1}{√x}$



I am asked to find the domain of $frac gf$



So $frac gf$ would be $frac {1}{√x}$ over $ln (2 - x)
$

which would be $frac{ln (2-x)}{√x}$



so the domain is $0 < x < 2$



Is this correct?



Thank you!

  • $g(x)/f(x)$ is not the function you wrote. Check it.

  • Edited. I think my domain is still right?

  • No, $g/f$ is not correct.

HINT



Note that



$$frac g f = frac1{sqrt x log (2-x)}$$



and we need




  • for the definition of $f$: $$2-x>0$$

  • for the definition of $g$: $$xge 0$$

  • for the definition of $f/g$: $$sqrt x log (2-x)neq 0$$


for there we obtain that





  • $x>0$

  • $2-x>0$

  • $2-xneq 1$


Solve that system to find the domain.
