Answer

The domain of the given function is $$ \left\{(x, y) | x^{2}+y^{2} \ne 1, \quad x \lt 2 \right\}. $$

Work Step by Step

$$ g(x,y)=\frac{\ln (2-x)}{1-x^{2}-y^{2}} $$ This function is defined only when: $$ 1-x^{2}-y^{2} \ne 0 $$ $\Rightarrow$ $$ x^{2}+y^{2} \ne 1 $$ In addition, $g$ is not defined if: $$ 2-x \gt 0 $$ $\Rightarrow$ $$ x \lt 2 $$ Thus, the domain of $g $ is $$ \left\{(x, y) | x^{2}+y^{2} \ne 1, \quad x \lt 2 \right\}. $$
