You can put this solution on YOUR website! What i the domain of the rational expression f(x)= x-5 over 2x+3 .
 The "domain" specifies the range of numbers for x.
 x can assume all numbers except when denominator is zero.
 so set 2x+3 to zero and solve for x (only value x can't take):
 2x+3 = 0
 2x = -3
 x = -3/2
 .
 domain then is all real numbers except -3/2
 or
 (-oo, -3/2) U (-3/2, +oo)
 where oo is infinity
