Math Problem Statement
the domain of the function.
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals StartFraction x plus 5 Over 2 minus x EndFractionf(x)=x+52−x
Solution
To find the domain of the function , we need to determine for which values of the function is defined.
Since division by zero is undefined, we must ensure that the denominator of the function is not zero. The denominator is , so we need to solve the equation:
Solving for :
Thus, the function is undefined at . Therefore, the domain of is all real numbers except .
In interval notation, the domain is:
