Find the Domain y=5/8x-9

Problem

y=5/(8*x−9)

Solution

1. Identify the type of function. This is a rational function, which is defined for all real numbers except where the denominator is equal to zero.

2. Set the denominator equal to zero to find the values that must be excluded from the domain.

8*x−9=0

3. Solve for x by adding 9 to both sides of the equation.

8*x=9

4. Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x

x=9/8

5. State the domain by excluding the value that makes the denominator zero. The domain consists of all real numbers x such that x≠9/8

Final Answer

Domain: *{x|x∈ℝ,x≠9/8}
