Answer: [tex]x=0\text{ and }x=e^4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The vertical asymptote is at the zero of the argument and at points where the argument approaches to ∞ .

Given function: [tex]f(x) = \ln(4 - \ln(x))[/tex]

Since, [tex]\ln 0=\infty[/tex]

Here, if

[tex]f(x)\to \infty\\\Rightarrow\ 4-\ln x=0\Rightarrow\ln x=4\Rightarrow\ x=e^4\\\text{OR}\ln x=\infty\Rightarrow\ x=0[/tex]

Hence, the vertical asymptotes of f(x) are:

[tex]x=0\text{ and }x=e^4[/tex].

Using it's concept, it is found that the vertical asymptotes of the function are: [tex]\mathbf{x = 0, x = e^4}[/tex]

A vertical asymptote of a function f(x) are the values of x for which the function is outside it's domain.

For the ln function, that is, [tex]\ln{g(x)}[/tex], they are the values of x for which:

[tex]g(x) = 0[/tex]

In this problem, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = \ln{(4 - \ln{(x)})}[/tex]

For the inner function, x = 0 is a vertical asymptote, as [tex]\ln{0}[/tex] is outside the domain.

For the outer function:

[tex]4 - \ln{(x)} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\ln{(x)} = 4[/tex]

[tex]e^{\ln{(x)}} = e^4[/tex]

[tex]x = e^4[/tex]
