Find domain restrictions when applying logarithm laws
Problem
What domain restrictions must be considered when applying log laws to \(\ln(x)+\ln(x-3)\)?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Each logarithm contributes its own strict positivity condition. Solve those inequalities separately and intersect them, since every log must exist at the same input. This original common domain remains part of the expression even if a later product-law rewrite appears to have a simpler single argument.
