Understanding Fractions and Domain Problems

The video tutorial explains how to determine the domain of a function using set builder notation. It emphasizes the importance of the denominator in a fraction and how it cannot be zero. The tutorial walks through solving inequalities to find the domain, explaining set builder notation, and handling undefined values. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.

What is the primary concern when dealing with fractions in domain problems?

• Neither

• The numerator

• The denominator

• Both numerator and denominator

Why must the denominator of a fraction not be zero?

• It simplifies the fraction

• It results in an undefined value

• It makes the fraction negative

• It makes the fraction positive

How do you solve the inequality 9x + 2 ≠ 0?

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 9

• Add 2 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 9

What is the domain of the function if 9x + 2 ≠ 0?

• x = -2/9

• x ≠ -2/9

• x < -2/9

• x > -2/9

What is the purpose of using set builder notation?

• To express the domain of a function

• To simplify fractions

• To express the range of a function

• To solve equations

What symbol is used in set builder notation to denote 'such that'?

• ,

• |

• ;

• :

Why is it important to exclude the value that makes the denominator zero?

• It simplifies the function

• It makes the function continuous

• It makes the function differentiable

• It avoids undefined values

What happens if x is -2/9 in the function 9x + 2?

• The function is positive

• The function is undefined

• The function is negative

• The function is zero

What is the advantage of using interval notation?

• It shows all possible values

• It is easier to read

• It simplifies the expression

• It highlights the excluded values

What does the inequality x ≠ -2/9 represent?

• The domain of the function

• The critical points of the function

• The solution to the equation

• The range of the function
