: thank you in advance for helping me with this problem!!!
f(x)=x^2+x
I factored out the x to get: x(x+1)and then got x can not equal 0 or -1 for the domain. Am I on the right track? Thank you. This question is from textbook college algebra

Are you trying to find the domain of f%28x%29=x%5E2%2Bx ??

If you are, then notice how there is no division by a variable or a square root of a variable. This means that we don't have to worry about division by zero or taking the square root of a negative number. So this means that we can plug in any number into f%28x%29=x%5E2%2Bx and it will result in a real number.


So the domain is all real numbers.


The domain in set-builder notation is

Also the domain in interval notation is ()
