Example 1.2.2
The functions f and g are defined by
R ) , 1 ( : f , ) 1 ln( ) ( = x x f
R ) , 2 [ : g , ) 1 ln( ) ( = x x g
Determine the smallest value of c for which the function g f

is defined when the domain of g
is restricted to the interval ( ) , c .
Solution For )) ( ( x g f to exist, the condition g(x)e D

for all
g
D x e must hold. This
means that ) , 1 ( ) 1 ln( e x for all ) , 1 ( e x , that is
1 ) 1 ln( > x for all x > 1.
But ln(x -1) > 1 implies that x > e + 1 = 3.7188.. , so the required condition is
not satisfied by all ) , 2 [ e x (for example, it does not hold when ). 2 = x Hence,
fg is not defined on ) , 1 ( .
For fg


to be defined on ( ) , c , we have just shown that x > e + 1 , so the
smallest value of c is e + 1.
