F(x)= 3/x+5

OpenStudy (hba):

What is the question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determine the domain of each function

OpenStudy (nubeer):

all real numbers except x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I substitute x to 0

OpenStudy (nubeer):

when u put x =0 u will gget infinity

OpenStudy (nubeer):

so all real numbers are domain but\[x \neq0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just 0??

OpenStudy (nubeer):

no.. just not 0.. except 0 every number is in the domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's 3/5

OpenStudy (nubeer):

do you know what domain is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's then x value right

OpenStudy (nubeer):

domain is the possible values of x for which you can get some definite answer..

OpenStudy (nubeer):

so all real number means 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3 and so on .. just not 0 because when u put 0 u will get infinity so 0 not included. so every number in arithmetic is in the domain of this equation except 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But negative numbers aren't real numbers or are they...

OpenStudy (nubeer):

i think they are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so wat do I do

OpenStudy (hba):

@nubeer are you helping jay ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get this

OpenStudy (nubeer):

yes i am trying if u can see.. u can write all real numbers \[x \neq0\] or \[[-\infty , 0) (0,\infty]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (nubeer):

you are welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/x+5= f(x) we knw 3/0 is not defined...so x + 5 not equal 0 x not equal 5 so...Domian = R-{5}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jay847 u got it ?

OpenStudy (hba):

x not equal -5 *
