Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Analyze the components of ( f(t) )
The function ( f(t)=e^{-t^{2}}\ln(7 + t^{2}) ) is a product of two functions ( g(t)=e^{-t^{2}} ) and ( h(t)=\ln(7 + t^{2}) ).
- The exponential function ( y = e^{u}) with ( u=-t^{2}) is continuous for all real ( t) since the exponential function ( y = e^{x}) is continuous for all ( x\in R) and the polynomial ( u=-t^{2}) is continuous for all ( t\in R). By the composition - of - continuous - functions theorem (if ( u = g(x)) is continuous at ( x = a) and ( y = f(u)) is continuous at ( u = g(a)), then ( y=(f\circ g)(x)) is continuous at ( x = a)), ( g(t)=e^{-t^{2}}) is continuous for all ( t\in R).
- For the logarithmic function ( y=\ln(u)), the argument ( u = 7 + t^{2}). Since (t^{2}\geq0) for all (t\in R), then (u=7 + t^{2}\geq7>0) for all (t\in R). The function (u = 7 + t^{2}) is a polynomial (continuous for all (t\in R)) and the logarithmic function (y=\ln(u)) is continuous for (u>0). By the composition - of - continuous - functions theorem, (h(t)=\ln(7 + t^{2})) is continuous for all (t\in R).
Step2: Use the product - of - continuous - functions theorem
By the product - of - continuous - functions theorem (if (f(x)) and (g(x)) are continuous at (x = a), then (h(x)=f(x)g(x)) is continuous at (x = a)), since (g(t)=e^{-t^{2}}) and (h(t)=\ln(7 + t^{2})) are continuous for all (t\in R), the function (f(t)=e^{-t^{2}}\ln(7 + t^{2})) is continuous for all (t\in R) (its domain).
Step3: Find the domain of (f(t))
For the function (y = f(t)=e^{-t^{2}}\ln(7 + t^{2})), the domain of (e^{-t^{2}}) is (R) (all real numbers) and for (y=\ln(7 + t^{2})), since (7 + t^{2}>0) for all (t\in R) (because (t^{2}\geq0) for all (t\in R) and (7>0)), the domain of (f(t)) is the set of all real numbers. In interval notation, the domain is ((-\infty,\infty))
Answer:
The correct option is: (f(t)) is the product of functions that are continuous on the domain of (f(t)), so it is continuous at every number in its domain. The domain is ((-\infty,\infty))
