Question
If $\text{f(x)}=\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})$ and $\text{g(x)}=[\text{x}],$ then determine the following functions:
$\frac{\text{g}}{\text{f}}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{f(x)}=\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})$
and $\text{g(x)}=[\text{x}]$
$\text{f(x)}=\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})$ is defined, if 1 - x > 0
$\Rightarrow1>\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}<1$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,1)$
$\therefore\text{ Domain(f)}=(-\infty,1)$
$\text{g(x)}=[\text{x}]$ is defined for all $\text{x}\in\text{R}$
$\therefore\ \text{Domain(g)}=\text{R}$
$\therefore\ \text{Domain(f)}\cap\text{R}\text{ Domain(g)}=(-\infty,1)\cap\text{R}$
$=(-\infty,1)$
we have,
$\text{f(x)}=\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{f(x)}}=\frac{1}{\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})}$
$\therefore\ \frac{1}{\text{f(x)}}$ is defined if $\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})$ is defined and $\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})\neq0$
$\Rightarrow1-\text{x}>0$ and $1-\text{x}\neq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}<1$ and $\text{x}\neq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\in(-\infty,0)\cap(0,1)$
$\therefore\ \text{domain}\Big(\frac{\text{g}}{\text{f}}\Big)=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,1)$
$\frac{\text{g}}{\text{f}}:(-\infty,0)\cap(0,1)\rightarrow\text{R}$ defined by $\Big(\frac{\text{g}}{\text{f}}\Big)(\text{x})=\frac{[\text{x}]}{\log_\text{e}(1-\text{x})}$
