f(x)=(5x^2-5x-3)/(-9x-36) What condition is on the domain of the rational function

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In a rational function, problems with the domain come from x in the denominator. What value can a denominator NOT have?

Correct. Since a denominator of zero is not allowed, you need to find what value(s) of x will cause a denominator of zero. To do that, take the denominator and set it equal to zero. Then solve for x. Whatever x is equal to is the value x cannot have and is a restriction on the domain.
