Answer:

Domain = (−∞, 5) ∪ (5, ∞)

Explanation:

Given the rational function:


f(x) = (x)/(x-5)

The domain for the rational function will be all the real numbers except the values of x which make the denominator equal zero

So, we need to find the zeros of denominator as following:

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

So, denominator will be zero when x = 5

So, The domain = R - {5}

or can be written as (−∞, 5) ∪ (5, ∞)
