Answer:
Domain = {x : x ≠ 4 , -4} or (-∞ , -4) ∪ (-4 , 4) ∪ (4 , ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>TO FIND :-</u>
- Domain of
<u>SOLUTION :-</u>
Domain of a function is a value for which the function is valid.
The function is valid until the denominator is 0.
So make sure that the denominator must not be 0.
Find the values of x for which the denominator becomes 0. To find it , you'll have to solve the above inequality.
- Add 16 to both the sides
We can say that <u>4 & -4 can't be domains</u> because these values will make the function undefined.
Now try putting values of x such that -4 < x < 4. You'll observe that the function will be valid for all those values of x between -4 & 4.
<u>CONCLUSION :-</u>
The function will be valid for any value of 'x' except 4 & -4. So in :-
Interval notation , it can be written as → (-∞ , -4) ∪ (-4 , 4) ∪ (4 , ∞)
Set builder notation , it can be written as → {x : x ≠ 4 , -4}
