$\frac{5 x}{x - 9}$

Step 1

Set the denominator in $\frac{5 x}{x - 9}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$x - 9 = 0$

Step 2

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 9$

Step 3

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, 9) \cup (9, \infty)$
