Original equation:
The domain of the function is basically all the 'x' points that define that function. When you're asked to find the domain of an equation like the one you provided, you must set everything in the denominator equal to zero, and whatever you get is what makes the function undefined.
Step 1: Set everything in the denominator equal to zero

and
Step 2: Solve for 'x' for both equations
and
and
The domain of the function is all real numbers except and ... because if you plug these numbers back in, they will give you a in the denominator, making the function undefined.. you can never divide anything by
