You can put this solution on YOUR website!
These are rational expressions, the domain of rational expressions contain anything EXCEPT what will make the denominator (bottom) equal 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. 6/4x^3
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F4x%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "The restricted values are found by setting the denominator equal to 0 and solving for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%5E3=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x%5E3%2F4=0%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "cubed root (x^3)= cubed root (0)
\n" ); document.write( "x=0
\n" ); document.write( "The domain is all real numbers except 0.
\n" ); document.write( "{x|x not= 0} <---set builder notation
\n" ); document.write( "(-infinity,0)U(0,infinity) <--interval notation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. (x+5)/(x^2-36)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-36=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-36%2B36=0%2B36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%5E2%29=%2B-sqrt%2836%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6 or x=6
\n" ); document.write( "{x|x not= +\- 6}
\n" ); document.write( "(-infinity,-6)U(-6,6)U(6,infinity)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3. (x+5)/(x^2+36)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B36=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B36-36=0-36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=-36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%5E2%29=%2B-sqrt%28-36%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This results in no real number solution, therefore the domain for this is ALL REAL NUMBERS.
