Question
### Part f. **True or False**: \( g(x) = \frac{\ln(x-1)}{x^4 + 22} \) is continuous for \( x > 1 \). **Explanation**: - The function \( g(x) = \frac{\ln(x-1)}{x^4 + 22} \) consists of a natural logarithm function in the numerator and a polynomial function in the denominator. - The logarithmic function \( \ln(x-1) \) is defined and continuous for \( x > 1 \). - The polynomial function in the denominator, \( x^4 + 22 \), is always positive and continuous for all \( x \). - Since both the numerator and denominator are continuous for \( x > 1 \) and the denominator does not equal zero (ensuring no points of discontinuity), the function \( g(x) \) is continuous for \( x > 1 \). Hence, the statement is **True**.
