Examples
y=1x−2
Step 1
Set the denominator in 1x−2 equal to 0 to find where the expression is undefined.
x−2=0
Step 2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
x=2
Step 3
The domain is all values of x that make the expression defined.
Interval Notation:
(−∞,2)∪(2,∞)
Set-Builder Notation:
{x|x≠2}
Step 4
The range is the set of all valid y values. Use the graph to find the range.
Interval Notation:
(−∞,0)∪(0,∞)
Set-Builder Notation:
{y|y≠0}
Step 5
Determine the domain and range.
Domain: (−∞,2)∪(2,∞),{x|x≠2}
Range: (−∞,0)∪(0,∞),{y|y≠0}
