Algebra Examples
f(x)=x2+1 , g(x)=2x
Step 1
Replace the function designators with the actual functions in f(x)g(x).
x2+12x
Step 2
Set the denominator in x2+12x equal to 0 to find where the expression is undefined.
2x=0
Step 3
Step 3.1
Divide each term in 2x=0 by 2.
2x2=02
Step 3.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 3.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 2.
Step 3.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
2x2=02
Step 3.2.1.2
Divide x by 1.
x=02
x=02
x=02
Step 3.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 3.3.1
Divide 0 by 2.
x=0
x=0
x=0
Step 4
The domain is all values of x that make the expression defined.
