0<(3x6)−1<31
Find the domain
More Steps

Evaluate
3x6=0
Rewrite the expression
x6=0
The only way a power can not be 0 is when the base not equals 0
x=0
0<(3x6)−1<31,x=0
Separate into two inequalities
{0<(3x6)−1(3x6)−1<31
Solve the inequality

Evaluate
0<(3x6)−1
Evaluate the power
More Steps

Evaluate
(3x6)−1
To raise a product to a power,raise each factor to that power
3−1(x6)−1
Evaluate the power
31(x6)−1
Evaluate the power
31x−6
0<31x−6
Swap the sides
31x−6>0
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always 0,the statement is true for any value of x,except when 31x−6=0
31x−6=0
Rewrite the expression
3x61=0
Cross multiply
1=3x6×0
Simplify the equation
1=0
The statement is false for any value of x
x∈∅
Exclude the impossible values of x
