5/x - 3 what is the domain and is it a polynomial

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

for the domain you need to equal the denominator to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so how do I do that?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

x-3 = 0 so x = 3, the domain is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so domain are all numbers except 3 so x can not be equal to 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is this problem a polynomial function?
