Our teachers tell us that the domain of a power function (A^X where A is constant and X is a variable) is that the base must be positive and must differ from 1,so in the above example, it is logically that the solution of the following system of inequalities defines the domain:
5x>0 and
5x<>1 and
5x^x>0 and
5x^x<>1
Am I right? And I must note that in our textbook the power function's domain(sorry if I misuse mathematical argo) A^X is that the base A must be positive but it does not say that it must differ from 1. Ohhhh! Please clarify this very obscure situation!
