Question 166656: I missed the day of class when we covered domains in my class, and now i am hopelessly lost.
Please help me solve the following problems, and explain how you did it. I am not very good at math, so the more you can break it down and explain it, the better.
find the domain of the rational function:
h(t)=(t-5)/(t^2-25)

g(x)=(x^3-27)/(4x)

the problems are written in faction form, but I don't know how to do that with the computer, so I am not sure if what i have written means the same thing. It should read t-5 over t^2-25.
I would really appreciate the help!
