To find the domain of the given function, we generally equate the denominator to zero.

Here the given function is h(x) = 1%2F%28x+%2B+1%29

Equating the denominator to zero, we get:

x + 1 = 0

==> x = -1

So hence the domain consists of the set of all the real number except zero. So this in the interval notation can be written as:

D = {x / x E R (- 1) }

Or it can be written as:

{x: x is not equal to -1}

OR (- infinity, infinity) - {-1}
thus the solution
