Question

How would you find the domain of
4/3x-5

Answer 1

You don't FIND the Domain, you DETERMINE the Domain. It is a thought question, not a calculation question.

1) Do you mean what you have written? You wrote: \(\dfrac{4}{3}x - 5\). The Domain is All Real Numbers.

2) Did you mean \(\dfrac{4}{3x-5}\)? That is a different Domain. What makes the Denominator zero (0)?

3) You MUST see the difference between what you have written and what you intended.

Answer 2

The second one

Answer 3

Not a good answer. Please respond to my point #3. After that, please respond the question in Point #2. You get to show YOUR work.

Answer 4

Yes I see how the question could be written or interpreted two different ways. I'm asking if I just put the bottom equal to zero, and what do I have to do with the top number. And if you're going to put attitude in your answer please don't help me again

Answer 5

Okay, then you are not understanding. It CANNOT be interpreted two different ways.

4/3x-5 can ONLY be interpreted \(\dfrac{4}{3}x-5\)

If you had used parentheses, 4/(3x-5) is very clearly, and ONLY, \(\dfrac{4}{3x-5}\).

As stated in point #2, where is the denominator zero (0)? That is all this one takes.

Remember your Order of Operations. Things need to make sense.

Answer 6

Okay, my bad for not adding parentheses, thanks for the help
