Answer:

by setting the denominator equal to zero and solving. The x -values at which the denominator equals zero are called singularities and are not in the domain of the function.

Answer:

1. The use of a domain for a function that is smaller than the function's domain of definition. Note: Restricted domains are commonly used to specify a one-to-one section of a function.

2. Domain restrictions can be calculated by finding singularities, which are the x -values for which the denominator Q(x) is zero.
