If

, then

is the value of the function f at x, so f(-5) is the value of the function at -5, i.e.

. You do the arithmetic.
The domain of a function is the set of values for which the function is defined. The given function g is a rational expression that is defined everywhere except where the denominator is zero. So, if

, then g is not defined.
So the domain of g is all real numbers except

. In interval notation:
(

,

) U (

,

)
In set notation {x|x is real,

}
