how do you find the domain of y = 1/x-5 +7

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

set the denominator equal to 0. so: x-5=0 Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be all real numbers except for -5, 5 , 7 , or -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain can be thought of as either all the x values that will make the expression a valid number (no dividing by 0) or all real numbers EXCEPT the numbers which make the denominator 0.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

what exactly is the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 1 / x - 5 + 7

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

and the answer is whatever x equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am confused so is it all reall numbers except for -5

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

.-.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[{x|x \neq 5}\]
