Question

domain of y=3/x-5

Answer 1

the domain is set of x-values that are allowed in the equation.

Are there any x values that aren't allowed in this equation? x values that cause "problems" when you substitute them in?

Answer 2

it doesn't say. I would assume 5 being that it would put a zero in the denominator.

Answer 3

that's exactly right!

the domain of x can include all real numbers EXCEPT for x = 5, since that causes the 0 in the denominator

Answer 4

that's it?

Answer 5

that's it :)

Answer 6

that seems awfully easy.

Answer 7

you may have some info from class to show you a fancier way to write it, but that's it in a nutshell.

Yes, it isn't too tough for one like this.

Answer 8

"that seems awfully easy."

It's all easy as long as you don't overthink it and make it more complicated than it has to be. ;-)
