What is the domain of the relation? (picture)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

\[(\text{domain, range)} \]This is always the form. Here, they have given the following:\[(x, y) \]What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Domain is a shorthand for what is fully called DOMAIN OF DEFINITION. It means x-s where the function IS DEFINED

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I got that. But my answer has to be one of these... & I don't know how to get there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The "unequal" sign means these are FORBIDDEN x-s. Division by what number is forbidden....Now, plugging those numbers (some of them, that is) gives such forbidden division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get the part where it can't be the number after the unequal sign. But I don't know what numbers to substitute?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I substituted in -4 and I got 28/0 and you can't do that, so I eliminated the first two options. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) division by 0 is forbidden 2) YOH HAVE TO FORBID NUMBERS that give zero in any of the brackets IN THE DENOMINATOR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, I gotcha now. & When I put in 7 I got an impossible answer. So I see now. Thanks! :)
