(c) We shift the graph of = ln two units upward.

(c) We shift the graph of = ln one unit to the right and one unit downward.

61. (a) ln 0 ⇒ 0 ⇒ 1. Since the domain of () = ln is 0, the solution of the original inequality
is 0 1.

63. (a) We must have − 3 0 ⇔ 3 ⇔ ln3. Thus, the domain of () = ln( − 3) is (ln3∞).
(b) = ln( − 3) ⇒ = − 3 ⇒ = + 3 ⇒ = ln( + 3), so −1 () = ln( + 3).
Now + 3 0 ⇒ −3, which is true for any real , so the domain of −1 is .
64. (a) By (9), ln 300 = 300 and ln( 300 ) = 300.
(b) A calculator gives ln 300 = 300 and an error message for ln( 300 ) because 300 is larger than most calculators can
evaluate.
65. We see that the graph of = () =
