How do i find the domain of the function f(x) = ln(cos(x))?

f(x) = ln(cos(x)


The domain
is  when cos(x) is a positive value.


 (cos(x)) >
0


We know that:


cos0 =
1


cos pi/2 = 0


cos pi =
-1


cos 3pi/2 = 0


cos 2pi=
1


Then cos(x) values are between -1, and
1


in order for the function to be defined, then the domain
is when cos(x) > 0  which are the interval:


(0,
pi/2) ( 3pi/2, 2pi)


Then the domain is
:


x = (0, pi/2) U (3pi/2,
2pi)

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
