$f (x) = \log_{2} (7 x - 6)$

Step 1

Set the argument in $\log_{2} (7 x - 6)$ greater than $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$7 x - 6 > 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Step 2.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{7 x}{7} > \frac{6}{7}$

Step 2.2.2.1.2

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x > \frac{6}{7}$

Step 3

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.
