Nancy explains how to find the domain of various types of functions, including polynomials, fractions, and those involving square roots. She provides step-by-step instructions for determining the domain, using examples to illustrate each case. The video covers how to handle polynomials, fractions, square roots, and combinations of these elements in functions. Nancy also explains the use of interval notation and the importance of ensuring denominators are not zero. The video concludes with a call to action to like the video.

What does the domain of a function represent?

For a polynomial function like x^2 + 3x + 1, what is the domain?

• Only integers

• Only negative numbers

• Only positive numbers

• All real numbers

When finding the domain of a function with a fraction, what should you ensure about the denominator?

• It is equal to zero

• It is not equal to zero

• It is less than zero

• It is greater than zero

If a function has a denominator of x^2 + 3, what is the domain?

• x cannot be negative

• x cannot be positive

• x cannot be 0

• All real numbers

For a function with a square root, what must be true about the expression under the root?

• It must be less than zero

• It must be greater than zero
