Answer

(a) $(-1,\infty)$. (b) $ 0$, $(7,0)$. (c) $ 3$, $(3,-1)$. (d) $ 7$.

Work Step by Step

Given $F(x)=log_2(x+1)-3$, we have: (a) the domain $x+1\gt0$ or $(-1,\infty)$. (b) $F(7)=log_2(7+1)-3=0$ giving point $(7,0)$. (c) $F(x)=log_2(x+1)-3=-1 \Longrightarrow x+1=2^2 \Longrightarrow x=3$ giving point $(3,-1)$. (d) $F(x)=log_2(x+1)-3=0 \Longrightarrow x+1=2^3 \Longrightarrow x=7$.
