1. [7 pts] Find the domain of f (x) = ln 2
− |x − 1| + |x − 2| − |x − 3| . Express the
solution using interval notation.
Solution.
Since the logarithmic function is only defined for positive values of the argument, we
conclude that

− |x − 1| + |x + 2| − |x − 3| > 0.
To solve this inequality, we consider several cases.
• Case x ≥ 3. In this case, |x − 1| = x − 1, |x − 2| = x − 2, and |x − 3| = x − 3,
hence the inequality becomes 23 − (x − 1) + (x + 2) − (x − 3) > 0. Solving this, we
get x < 27 . Thus, the answer for this case is [3, 72 ).
• Case 2 ≤ x < 3. In this case, |x−1| = x−1, |x−2| = x−2, and |x−3| = −(x−3),
hence the inequality becomes 32 − (x − 1) + (x + 2) + (x − 3) > 0. Solving this, we
get x > 25 . Thus, the answer for this case is ( 52 , 3).
• Case 1 ≤ x < 2. In this case, |x − 1| = x − 1, |x − 2| = −(x − 2), and
|x − 3| = −(x − 3), hence the inequality becomes 23 − (x − 1) − (x + 2) + (x − 3) > 0.
Solving this, we get x < 23 . Thus, the answer for this case is [1, 32 ).
• Case x < 1. In this case, |x − 1| = −(x − 1), |x − 2| = −(x − 2), and |x − 3| =
−(x − 3), hence the inequality becomes 32 + (x − 1) − (x + 2) + (x − 3) > 0. Solving
this, we get x > 21 . Thus, the answer for this case is ( 12 , 1).
Combining (taking the union of) the answers in the four cases, we obtain the final
answer:
( 21 , 32 ) ∪ ( 52 , 72 ).
