g(x)=We just have to leave out the values on the x-axis where there are vertical asymptotes: That is where the denominator = 0 (x + 5)(x - 1) = 0 x+5 = 0 x - 1 = 0 x = -5 x = 1 The graph is below. Notice that the function does not use the values of x where there are vertical asymptotes (where the green lines, the asymptotes cross the x-axis <=========o=================o===========> -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 Notice this number line representing the domain. Compare it to the x-axis above. It is just like it! Its interval notation is That's the domain. Edwin
