Since you can't divide by zero, set the denominator equal to zero to get: 1-7x=0. Now solve for 'x' to get x=1%2F7. So if x=1%2F7, then the denominator is zero. Since we don't want this, we have to take this value out of the domain. So the domain is the set of all real numbers BUT x%3C%3E1%2F7 (to avoid division by zero).
