A level OCR maths question help

what the heck is k

Where is the function not defined (when x>0)?

what the heck is k

how would I work that out

Looks like a misprint - where does the question come from?

The funciton is a fraction, so when will it have a "problem"

Id say when x is 0 but it has to be greater than 0 idkk honestly

x > 0 for the ln(x) functions to be defined. So thats that part sorted.

So if you have
num/denom
for what value of denom is it a problem?

Isn't it x has to be greater than 0 as well bc the denominator has ln in it aswell

I dont really understand your argument, but I suspect the answer is no. If youre unsure (and working at home), you could sub a few values for x into the denominator expression and see what it gives.

Obviously there will be a problem when
denom(x) = ...
So ...

i think im confusing myself too

i think that ur tryna tell me how to work out k but I don't know what it is, like it cant be the value of x bc they said that k is not equal to x so where did k come from. do you know what I mean

I really dont know what you mean. Your denominator (function) is
d(x) = ln(x) - 2
which value of d will cause a probelm when you divide by it, and what is the corresponding value of x? That is the value of k which you want to exclude from the domain of f (or g (typo)).

OH so because its a fraction the denominator can't be 0 so u make ln(x)-2=0 and work out x which would be e^2???

This is a very unusual way of asking this - looks more like a misprint to me.

no but i get what they're asking bc normally when they give a function like that they will have x is not equal to 0 next to it anyway

Yes I know about that bit - it's the 'k' bit that looks as if the questions has a missing bit or has been miscopied. A teacher should always give a question reference ...
