f%28x%29=%28x%5E2%2Bx%2B105%29%2F%285x-45%29 Start with the given function


5x-45=0 Set the denominator equal to zero. Remember, dividing by 0 is undefined. So if we find values of x that make the denominator zero, then we must exclude them from the domain.



5x=0%2B45Add 45 to both sides


5x=45 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2845%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x



x=9 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=9



Since x=9 makes the denominator equal to zero, this means we must exclude x=9 from our domain

So our domain is:
