Question 9

1. For the function h(x) = log3 (x2 − 4x + 7) to be defined, the argument of

​

the logarithm must be positive:

x2 − 4x + 7 > 0

1. Determine the Nature of the Quadratic:

The quadratic expression x2 − 4x + 7 is a parabola opening upwards

(positive x2 coefficient). We can examine its discriminant to confirm if it has
any real roots.

Discriminant = (−4)2 − 4 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 7
= 16 − 28

om
​ ​

= −12

Since the discriminant is negative, x2 .c

− 4x + 7 has no real roots, meaning
the expression is always positive for all real x. [2 marks]

2. Conclusion on the Domain:

Since x2 − 4x + 7 > 0 for all x, the domain of h(x) is all real numbers.

​

2. Simplify the Quadratic Equation:

Rearrange to form a standard quadratic equation:

x2 − 4x + 4 = 0

Factorize the equation:

(x − 2)2 = 0

So, x = 2. [2 marks]
