Domain {x|x>6} in interval notation (6, oo)

Range {y|y " is " RR} in interval notation (-oo, oo)

Explanation:

y = log(2x -12)

input of the log functions must be greater than zero:

2x-12>0

2x>12

x>6

Domain {x|x>6} in interval notation (6, oo)

As input numbers get closer and closer to 6 the function goes to -oo and as input gets larger and larger the function goes to oo

Range {y|y " is " RR} in interval notation (-oo, oo)

graph{log(2x -12) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
