domain of f(x)=(2x^2-5x-12)/(x^2-2x-8)

domain

f (x) = \frac{2 x ^{2} - 5 x - 12}{x ^{2} - 2 x - 8}

x < - 2 or - 2 < x < 4 or x > 4

Interval Notation

(- \infty, - 2) \cup (- 2, 4) \cup (4, \infty)

Solution steps

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 4, x = - 2

The function domain

x < - 2 or - 2 < x < 4 or x > 4
