What can a denominator never be?
0
so, we need to figure what x can't be... the only way to multiply 2 things together to get 0 is if one or both are zero.
so, what x values make our denominator 0?
to figure this out, we need to set (x-1)(x-2)=0
now we split and solve.
so when x is 1 or 2 the function doesnt make sense.
but, x can be every other number and it does, so the answer is
ALL REAL NUMBERS not equal to 1 or 2
0

well, we know the common difference is -3, to go from the 4th term to the 8th term, we need to add "d" 4 times or namely 3+4(-3), likewise to go from the 13th term to the 19th term we have to add "d" 6 times, or namely -24 + 6(-3).
