QuestionFind the domain restriction for the function f(x)=1x3f(x) = \frac{1}{x-3}. Explain your reasoning.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The composition of two functions is given as 1x3\frac{1}{x-3} . We need to find the domain restriction of this function

STEP 2

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) which will output real numbers. In other words, the domain is the set of all real x that make the function "work" and output real y.

STEP 3

For the given function 1x3\frac{1}{x-3}, the denominator cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined in mathematics.

STEP 4

To find the domain restriction, we need to find the x-value that makes the denominator zero.
Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x.
x3=0x-3 =0

STEP 5

olving the equation gives us the value of x that is not in the domain.
x=3x =3

STEP 6

So, the domain of the function 1x3\frac{1}{x-3} is all real numbers except3. In interval notation, this can be written as (,3)(3,)(-\infty,3) \cup (3, \infty).
The domain restriction for the function is x ≠3.
