domain of f(x)=(x^2-3x-4)/(x^2-1)

domain

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2} - 3 x - 4}{x ^{2} - 1}

x < - 1 or - 1 < x < 1 or x > 1

Interval Notation

(- \infty, - 1) \cup (- 1, 1) \cup (1, \infty)

Solution steps

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1, x = - 1

The function domain

x < - 1 or - 1 < x < 1 or x > 1
