How would I find the domain of these functions?

g(x) =

2
/
x²+x-12


and...


g(x) =

1
/
√x+2


Thank you so much.

these are called asymptotes, which means that the graph gets infinitely close to these values but never reaches them.

1st problem:
the asymptotes in this problem are the numbers which make the denominator = 0, because 2/0 is "undefined"

to solve you just set the denominator = to 0

x^2+x-12=0
(x+4)(x-3)=0
x=-4 and 3
since x can't be these values, the domain is written as
x<-4 or x>3 or -4
2nd problem:
This problem is a little different because there is nothing that will make the denominator = 0.
What would make the denominator impossible would be a negative number, because the squareroot of a negative is imaginary.
Any positive value for x would work though.

so the domain is x>=0 (x greater than or equal to 0)

ok, i am going to imagine about this as I write and perchance you'll see my procedure. there's a 2-hour distinction between Winona going 20 mph and going 40 mph. If she change into 40 miles away, she'd get there in a unmarried hour, notwithstanding it ought to take 2 hours at 20 mph. that is merely a a million hour distinction. So i wager two times as some distance: 80 miles. that ought to take 2 hours at 40 mph and four hours at 20, so it is both-hour distinction. She's 80 miles away. If she drove 30 mph, she'd be merely on time. you could really also tell from those numbers how lengthy earlier than time she is going. 30 mph is one mile in step with 2 minutes, 80 situations 2 says she's starting up out 100 and sixty minutes in the previous she's meant to be there; 2 hours and 40 minutes. Did you be conscious how that worked? more effective to be early. may be site visitors. desire this enables.

set the denominators not equal to zero
ex. X^2 +X -12=0, find out what that equals and that's what the domain cannot equal so it would be {X cannot equal -4, 3}

and the other one would be {X cannot equal 4}

You can't divide by zero.
x^2+x-12 = (x+4)(x-3) so domain of first one is all real numbers except -4 and 3.

Can't take square root of a negative number. so domain of the second one is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.

The answer of CS is perfect but for the second problem the domain will be x>-2
