SOLUTION: The Function g is defined below g(x)=x^2-2x-3/x^2-81 Find all the values of x that are NOT in the domain of g if there is more than one value, separate them with commas.

Question 1104211: The Function g is defined below
g(x)=x^2-2x-3/x^2-81
Find all the values of x that are NOT in the domain of g
if there is more than one value, separate them with commas.

Recall that dividing by zero is undefined, so it is not allowed.

Set the denominator equal to zero, factor and use the zero product property to find the x values that solve the equation

x^2 - 81 = 0
x^2 - 9^2 = 0
(x-9)(x+9) = 0
x-9 = 0 or x+9 = 0
x = 9 or x = -9

The two x values not in the domain are x = 9 and x = -9. These x values make the denominator x^2-81 equal to zero.
