Answer:

Explanation:

The 2 numbers that are not in the domain of the function are the 2 numbers that cause the denominator of the function to equal 0. In order to find those 2 numbers, we have to factor the quadratic that is in the denominator. When you factor, you get x = 2.79 and x = -1.79

Those are the values of x that cause the denominator to equal 0, which of course is NEVER allowed in math!
