Write in simplified form. Be sure to list any restrictions on the domain.
g(t) = ( 25 – p^2) / (p^2 + 10p + 25)
------------------------------------
Factor where you can:
g(t) = [-(p-5)(p+5)] / [(p+5)^2]
---
From this form you can see that p=-5 is not in the domain.
---
Simplify:
g(t) = [-(p-5)] / [(p+5)]
--------------------------------
So the domain is "all Real Numbers" except p=-5
