Ooookay...I was going to try the next one by myself but they hit me with a fraction ;-; Find the domain: \[g(x)\frac{ 1 }{ x^{2}+1}-\frac{ 1 }{ x^{2}-1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, we know that in a fraction the denominator cannot be zero, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, what values of x make the denominator in either fraction zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's 1 and -1 except...there's x^2...still there so i don't think that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct. In the second fraction, both 1 and -1 would set the denominator equal to zero. Thus, the domain is "All real numbers except 1 and -1"

Arigatou gozaimasu!

Um. You're welcome.
