The function h(x) is defined as shown. What is the range of h(x)?
20
(x+2,
x <3
h(x) =
- x+8, X23
--- < h(x) Oh(x) < 5
o h(x) 2 5
Oh(x) = 3

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
