What is the domain of the function f(x) = x + 1/ x^2 - 6 + 8?

Answer:
The domain is all values but x=4 and x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x+1) / ( x^2-6x+8)
Factor the function
f(x) = (x+1) / ( (x-4) ( x-2))
The domain of the function is all values of x except where the function does not exist
This is where the denominator goes to zero
(x-4) ( x-2) =0
Using the zero product property
x-4 =0 x-2 =0
x=4 x=2
The domain is all values but x=4 and x=2
Answer:
Hey there!
This, is the graph of your function:
Thus the domain, or all the possible x values would be all real numbers except 2 and 4, because the lines will only reach 2 and 4 when y is infinity.
Hope this helps :)
