Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the domain of the function , we need to determine where the function is defined.
For rational functions like this one, the function is undefined where the denominator is zero. So, we need to find where .
-
Set the denominator equal to zero:
-
Solve for :
Thus, the function is undefined at . Therefore, the domain of is all real numbers except .
Final answer: The domain of the function is .
