Domain = ${x:xepsilon RR, x != 3}$

This reads as "The domain is the set of all elements x, such that x is an element of the set of Real numbers, but x is not equal to 3"

The domain is the set of all the possible x-values.

Looking at the numerator, any $x-$ value can be used.

However, in a fraction the denominator may not be equal to 0.

In this case is $x = 3$ , then the denominator will be 0, so $x$ may not be 3, but any other value would be fine. We write it as:

Domain = ${x:xepsilon RR, x != 3}$

This reads as "The domain is the set of all elements x, such that x is an element of the set of Real numbers, but x is not equal to 3"

How do you find the domain of f(x) = (x+2)/(x-3) f(x)=x+2x−3f(x) = (x+2)/(x-3) ?
