Algebra.Com's Answer #46554 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() 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( " \n" ); document.write( "The restricted values are found by setting the denominator equal to 0 and solving for x: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \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.
