Domain of a Function - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

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.
