write the domain of each rational expression in set notation for
1-x^2/x and 2b-2/2b^2-8. Explain if they have excluded values, or why they don't.
===================
(1-x^2)/x
----
= (1/x) - x
-----
Domain: All Real Numbers except x = 0
(-oo,0)U(0,+oo)
========================
(2b-2)/(2b^2-8)
-----
= (b-1)/[(b-2)(b+2)]
----
Domain: All Real Numbers except b = 2 or b = -2
(-oo,-2)U(-2,2)U(2,+oo)
===============
