Math Problem Statement
find the domain fx = 2/x-4
Solution
To find the domain of the function , we need to identify any values of that would cause the denominator to be zero. The function will be undefined when the denominator is zero, as division by zero is not allowed.
Step 1: Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for :
So, the function is undefined at .
Step 2: Write the domain
The domain consists of all real numbers except . In interval notation, the domain is:
Thus, the domain of is all real numbers except .
