Answer

The solutions are a) $g(1,0) = 0.$ b) $g(0,-1) = 0.$ c) $g(0,e) = 1.$ d) $g(1,1) = \ln 2.$ e) $g(e,e/2) = 1+\ln(3/2).$ f) $g(2,5) = \ln7.$

Work Step by Step

We will substitute for $x$ from the first and for $y$ from the second coordinate from the given point into the function $g(x,y)=\ln|x+y|.$ a) $g(1,0) = \ln|1+0|=\ln 1 = 0.$ b) $g(0,-1) = \ln|0-1| = \ln 1 = 0.$ c) $g(0,e) = \ln|0+e| = \ln e = 1.$ d) $g(1,1) = \ln|1+1| = \ln 2.$ e) $g(e,e/2) = \ln|e+e/2| = \ln (3e/2)= \ln e + \ln(3/2) = 1+\ln(3/2).$ f) $g(2,5) = \ln|2+5| = \ln7.$
