f:RR rarr RR, x != -1/2

Explanation:

To find which values of x don't belong to the domain of f, we have to set the denominator of f=0 and solve for x

2x+1=0

x=-1/2

Therefore, -1/2 is the only invalid real in the domain. Also, since x=-1/2 is an asymptote, we know that f will increase with bound towards +-oo. Therefore, f maps to all y in RR.

Combining these two, we can define

f:RR rarr RR
