  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

so when evaluating where f(x) is not defined and f(x) is rational, we need to set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x

#

it is prohibited to send the answer

#

we need them to work through it

#

although it isn't specifically the answer, you can still get the answer from what u posted

#

so for example: Find the domain of $f(x)$ such that $f(x)=\frac{1}{2x+1} \$
$2x+1=0 \to 2x=-1 \to x=\frac{-1}{2}$ so $\frac{-1}{2}$ would be from the domain since you cannot divide by zero.
so the domain would be $(- \infty, \frac{-1}{2}) \union (\frac{-1}{2}, +\infty)$

and if you are unfamiliar with interval notation, here is a good video showcasing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djT6-YamHaA it also shows how to find the vertical asymptotes

This algebra video tutorial explains how to find the domain of a function that contains radicals, fractions, and square roots in the denominator using interval notation. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems and is useful for students in algebra and precalculus.

also since this is a square root, remember that the parent function, $\sqrt{x}$ has the domain $D: x\geq 0$

and use that when finding the domain

#

so like:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2x+1}}$ would have the domain$ D: x>\frac{-1}{2}$ since $\frac{-1}{2}$ would yield zero which is undefined

remove the answer

#

you aren't helping anyone with posting answers

#

this too

rain frigate
#

i think this is help forum

quaint tulip
#

yes

#

you would be correct

#

but this is not give the answer out forum

rain frigate
#

if i voilated rule please link rule

quaint tulip
#

again, don't just give out the answer

#

you are helping no one by posting the answer instead of guiding people

rain frigate
#

ok understand rule

quaint tulip
#

so delete it
