Domain - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Let's examine the given expression:

$\frac{x}{16}$

As we know, the only restriction that applies to a division operation is division by 0, since no number can be divided into 0 parts, therefore, division by 0 is undefined.

Therefore, when we talk about a fraction, where the dividend (the number being divided) is in the numerator, and the divisor (the number we divide by) is in the denominator, the restriction applies only to the denominator, which must be different from 0,

However in the given expression:

$\frac{x}{16}$

the denominator is 16 and:

$16\neq0$

Therefore the fraction is well defined and thus the unknown, which is in the numerator, can take any value,

Meaning - the domain (definition range) of the given expression is:

all x

(This means that we can substitute any number for the unknown x and the expression will remain well defined),

Therefore the correct answer is answer B.

The domain depends on the denominator and we can see that there is no variable in the denominator.

Therefore, the domain is all numbers.

The domain of a fraction depends on the denominator.

Since you cannot divide by zero, the denominator of a fraction cannot equal zero.

Therefore, for the fraction $$$\frac{6}{x}$, the domain is "All numbers except 0," since the denominator cannot equal zero.

In other words, the domain is:

$x\ne0$

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the fraction's denominator.

• Step 2: Determine where this denominator equals zero.

• Step 3: Exclude this value from the domain.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The given equation is $2x - 3 = \frac{4}{x}$. Notice that the fraction $\frac{4}{x}$ has a denominator of $x$.

Step 2: Set the denominator equal to zero to determine where it is undefined.

$\begin{aligned} x &= 0 \end{aligned}$

Step 3: Since the expression is undefined at $x = 0$, we must exclude this value from the domain.

Therefore, the domain of the expression is all real numbers except 0, formally stated as $x \neq 0$.

The correct solution to the problem is: x ≠ 0.

To solve this problem and find the domain for the expression $2x + \frac{6}{x}$, we apply the following steps:

• Step 1: Identify when the fraction $\frac{6}{x}$ is undefined. This occurs when the denominator $x$ equals zero.
• Step 2: To find the restriction, set the denominator equal to zero: $x = 0$.
• Step 3: Solve for $x$ to find the values excluded from the domain. Here, $x \neq 0$.

Since $\frac{6}{x}$ is undefined for $x = 0$, the value $x = 0$ must be excluded from the domain.
Hence, the domain of the equation is all real numbers except zero.

Therefore, the solution to the problem, indicating the domain of the expression, is $x \neq 0$.
