Math Problem Statement

Find domain

Solution

The given function is:

f(x)=2xex1f(x) = \frac{2x}{e^x - 1}

To find the domain of the function f(x)f(x), we need to identify all values of xx for which the function is defined.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the Denominator:

    The function f(x)f(x) has a denominator ex1e^x - 1. The function will be undefined when the denominator is zero because division by zero is undefined.

  2. Solve for ex1=0e^x - 1 = 0:

    ex1=0e^x - 1 = 0 ex=1e^x = 1

    The exponential equation ex=1e^x = 1 holds true when x=0x = 0.

  3. Determine the Domain:

    The function f(x)=2xex1f(x) = \frac{2x}{e^x - 1} is undefined when x=0x = 0. For all other values of xx, the function is defined because ex10e^x - 1 \neq 0.

Conclusion:

The domain of the function f(x)=2xex1f(x) = \frac{2x}{e^x - 1} is all real numbers except x=0x = 0. In interval notation, the domain is:

(,0)(0,)(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)
