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**.
