Math Problem Statement

Find the domain of the function. g(x) = 2 / (10 - 7x). Choose the correct domain from the options below.

Solution

We are tasked with finding the domain of the function g(x)=2107xg(x) = \frac{2}{10 - 7x}.

Steps to find the domain:

  1. The function involves a rational expression, so we need to ensure that the denominator does not equal zero.
  2. Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for xx: 107x=010 - 7x = 0 7x=107x = 10 x=107x = \frac{10}{7} Therefore, g(x)g(x) is undefined at x=107x = \frac{10}{7}.

Conclusion:

The domain of the function consists of all real numbers except x=107x = \frac{10}{7}.

Correct Option:

The correct answer is A. {xx is a real number and x107}\{ x \mid x \text{ is a real number and } x \neq \frac{10}{7} \}.

Would you like more details on this? Here are some related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you determine the domain of a rational function in general?
  2. Why does the denominator being zero make a function undefined?
  3. Can there be more than one value excluded from the domain of a rational function?
  4. How does the domain change for more complex functions involving square roots?
  5. What is the difference between the range and the domain of a function?

Tip: When finding the domain of a rational function, always start by identifying values that make the denominator zero, as these are excluded from the domain.
