The domain of a function includes all those values of X X (independent variable) that, when substituted into the function, keep the function valid and defined.

The domain of a function is an integral part of function analysis. Moreover, a definition set is required to create a graphical representation of the function.

Practice Domain of a Function

Examples with solutions for Domain of a Function

Exercise #1

Select the field of application of the following fraction:

8+x5 \frac{8+x}{5}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since the domain depends on the denominator, we note that there is no variable in the denominator.

Therefore, the domain is all numbers.

Answer

All numbers

Exercise #2

Select the field of application of the following fraction:

6x \frac{6}{x}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since the domain of definition depends on the denominator, and X appears in the denominator

All numbers will be suitable except for 0.

In other words, the domain of definition:

x0 x\ne0

Answer

All numbers except 0

Exercise #3

Given the following function:

9x4 \frac{9x}{4}

Does the function have a domain? If so, what is it?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since the function's denominator equals 4, the domain of the function is all real numbers, meaning all X.

Answer

No, the entire domain

Exercise #4

Given the following function:

5+4x2+x2 \frac{5+4x}{2+x^2}

Does the function have a domain? If so, what is it?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Since the denominator is positive for all X, the domain of the function is the entire domain.

That is, all X, therefore there is no domain restriction.

Answer

No, the entire domain

Exercise #5

Select the field of application of the following fraction:
