Step-by-step solution

To determine the domain of the function 2421x7 \frac{24}{21x-7} , we need to ensure that the denominator is not equal to zero.

Step 1: Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x x :

  • 21x7=0 21x - 7 = 0

  • 21x=7 21x = 7

  • x=721 x = \frac{7}{21}

  • x=13 x = \frac{1}{3}

The function is undefined when x=13 x = \frac{1}{3} because it would cause division by zero.

Step 2: The domain of the function is all real numbers except x=13 x = \frac{1}{3} .

Therefore, the domain of the function is all x x such that x13 x \neq \frac{1}{3} .

Thus, the correct answer is x13 \boxed{ x\ne\frac{1}{3}} .

Final Answer

x13 x\ne\frac{1}{3}
