Math Problem Statement

Find the domain of g(x)=2x/3x-1

Solution

To find the domain of the function g(x)=2x3x1g(x) = \frac{2x}{3x - 1}, we need to determine the values of xx for which the function is defined. This function is a rational function, meaning it is defined for all values of xx except where the denominator is zero.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the denominator of the function:
    The denominator of g(x)g(x) is 3x13x - 1.

  2. Set the denominator equal to zero to find the restricted values:
    3x1=03x - 1 = 0

  3. Solve for xx: 3x=13x = 1 x=13x = \frac{1}{3}

  4. Determine the domain:
    The domain of g(x)g(x) is all real numbers except x=13x = \frac{1}{3}.

Thus, the domain of g(x)=2x3x1g(x) = \frac{2x}{3x - 1} is all real numbers xx such that x13x \neq \frac{1}{3}.

Domain in Interval Notation:

The domain in interval notation is: (,13)(13,)(-\infty, \frac{1}{3}) \cup (\frac{1}{3}, \infty)

  1. What is the range of the function g(x)=2x3x1g(x) = \frac{2x}{3x - 1}?
  2. How do you find vertical and horizontal asymptotes for rational functions?
  3. Can you explain how to determine whether a function is continuous at a given point?
  4. What are the steps to find the inverse of a rational function?
  5. How do you analyze the behavior of g(x)=2x3x1g(x) = \frac{2x}{3x - 1} as xx approaches infinity?

Tip: When finding the domain of a rational function, always look for values of xx that make the denominator zero, as these are the points where the function is undefined.
