What is the domain of the graph (y=\log_2(x+5))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x>-5)

The direct answer is A, \(x>-5\). A logarithm is defined only when its input is strictly positive; zero and negative inputs are not allowed. Here the input is x+5, so solve \(x+5>0\). Subtract 5 from both sides to obtain \(x>-5\). Thus every real number greater than −5 belongs to the domain, while −5 itself does not. Option A is correct. Option B, \(x\ge-5\), incorrectly includes x=−5, but then the logarithm input is zero. Option C, \(x<5\), uses the wrong boundary and includes many values for which x+5 is nonpositive. Option D, \(x\ne-5\), excludes only −5 but still allows numbers less than −5, producing a logarithm of a negative number. Memory cue: for \(\log_b(g(x))\), write \(g(x)>0\), never \(g(x)\ge0\).
