Find the domain of (f/g) (x), where f and g are the following functions. f(x)=7x^2+x^4+7 and g(x)=6x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 1 (-infinity, -6/5) union (-6/5, infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 2 (-infinity, 5/6) union (5/6, infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 3 (-infinity, 6/5) union (6/5, infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 4 (-infinity, 0) union (0, infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer 5 (-infinity, -5/6) union (-5/6, infinity)

How do I even get an answer like this?

OpenStudy (precal):

did you type your f(x) correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (precal):

ok it is answer 2. 6x-5=0 6x=5 x=5/6 This is the x value that it can not be since it would cause a zero on the bottom of the fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that's all i do in a problem like this?

OpenStudy (precal):

yes but be careful. If you had (x^2-9)/(x+3) you would have to factor the top and cancel out (x+3) example [(x+3)(x-3)]/(x+3) then you are left with (x-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (precal):

Domain is just stating all of the x values a function can have. We also, state values a function can not have. Basically restrictions on x, if any.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
