-----
They are right.
Here's why.
Your domain is all real values of x EXCEPT x = -8 and x = 2
-----
(-,8) covers the interval from minus infinity < x < -8.
(2,) covers the interval from 2 < x < infinity.
-----
you are missing the interval from -8 < x < 2 represented by:
(-8,2)
-----
number line would show that as follows:
------------------------(-8)---------------------(2)----------------

Give the domain
f(x)= x^4+4/x^2+6x-16
Factor where you can:
f(x)=[x^4+4]/[(x+8)(x-2)]
Comment: Only x=-8 and x=2 are
excluded from the domain. Your
answer does not include the values
of "x" between -8 and 2.
The book's answer covers all Real
Numbers except x=-8 and x=2, which
is the correct answer.
