Make sure that the denominators are not equal to 0. This said, just solve for the roots of the denominators, and exclude these from the domain. For example,
is a rational expression whose denominators are zero at 0,1, -1,2, and 3. Thus the domain of this expression is the set of all real numbers except 0,1, -1,2, and 3.
