The Solution:

Given:

Required:

Find the domain of the function. What is the value of x that is not in the domain of f(x).

Graphing the function, f(x), we get:

So, the domain of the function is:


(-\infty,-1)\cup(-1,\infty)

To find the value of x that is not in the domain, we need to find the value of x for which the function is undefined. That is,


\begin{gathered} 6x+6=0 \\ 6x=-6 \\ \\ x=(-6)/(6)=-1 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x not in the domain is:


x=-1
