The domain is x in (-oo, 5)x(,5). The range is y in (-oo, +oo)y(,+)

Explanation:

Let y=ln(-x+5)+8y=ln(x+5)+8

For the natural log,

-x+5>0x+5>0

Therefore,

x<5x<5

The domain is x in (-oo, 5)x(,5)

lim_(x->-oo)y=+oo

lim_(x->5)y=-oo

The range is y in (-oo, +oo)

graph{ln(5-x)+8 [-47.05, 17.92, -10.28, 22.2]}
