Domain is all reals.

Now we have to find the increasing-decreasing sections of the domain.

f(x) = 2x + 2y

f'(x) = 2xlog(2) + 2ylog2 f'(x)
=> f'(x) - 2ylog2 f'(x) = 2xlog(2)
=> f'(x) = 2xlog(2)1 - 2ylog(2)
=> f'(x) = 2xlog(2)1 - (2 - 2x)log(2)

The numerator is always positive. So let's check the denominator.

Dr = 1 - 2log(2) - 2xlog(2)
This is evidently negative. As f'(x) can never be zero for a real value, it is always negative.
Hence the function is a decreasing one.
As x→(-∞, ∞)
f(x) →(f(Limx→(∞)x), f(Limx→(-∞)x))

Now y - 2y = 2x
When x→∞, y→∞.
When x→(-∞), y = 2y => y = log2ylog(2) = log2y

So the range is (∞, log2y) or (log2y, ∞) when written in the correct format.

Disclaimer : Correctness and accuracy of the above article is in no way guaranteed. And you haven't specified whether f(x) is a different function of x or y itself..

Someone completeing this..

I dont think what pritish has done is correct!

But still a decent question to try.

2y=2 - 2x

take log on both sides
u get:
y=log(2 - 2x)log 2

now 2 - 2x>0
so
x<1 ans

no guts to find out Pritish's mistake..:P

DOMAIN:-

f(x) = 2x + 2y= 2

So, 2y = 2 - 2x

Therefore, y = log 10 ( 2 - 2x)

Since, 2 - 2x > 0
therefore, we get , 2 > 2x

so, 1 > x or x < 1

so, domain of the function is x belonging to ( - ∞ ,1)

i think it should be y=f(x)

then y= log2(2-2x)
i.e domain x<1

now range = (0,2]

yes the starting point is teh observation that the question has a slight mistake in there...

so f(x)= should not be written

The domain is correct..

what about the range?

range (in y) = domain (in x) = (-∞,1)

log (2-2^x) lies between 0 to log 2
so y lies between close -∞,1 open
