Question

Find the domain of the function shown. Write the answer in interval notation.

Answer 1

( - ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )

The domain is the set of values of x which make f(x) defined

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.

solve x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

domain : (- ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )
