simplify the rational expression and state the domain . let 's see if we can start with the domain part of the question , if we can start with stating the domain . now , the domain is the set of all of the x values that you can legitimately input into this if you view this as a function , if you said this is f of x is ...
now , negative plus 6 . this is the exact same thing as 6 minus x if you just rearrange the two terms . negative x plus 6 is the same thing as 6 plus negative x , or 6 minus x .
is the concept ofconditionthe same thing ofdomain ?
simplify the rational expression and state the domain . let 's see if we can start with the domain part of the question , if we can start with stating the domain . now , the domain is the set of all of the x values that you can legitimately input into this if you view this as a function , if you said this is f of x is ...
this is the exact same thing as 6 minus x if you just rearrange the two terms . negative x plus 6 is the same thing as 6 plus negative x , or 6 minus x . now you could cancel them out .
you take ( x+6 ) ( -x+6 ) times negative one twice , wo n't you have to take ( x+6 ) times negative one twice ?

we have x plus 6 , and i 'm going to distribute this negative 1 . if i distribute the negative 1 , i have negative 1 times x is negative x . negative 1 times negative 6 is plus 6 . and then i have a negative 1 out here .
why the second negative one ?
simplify the rational expression and state the domain . let 's see if we can start with the domain part of the question , if we can start with stating the domain . now , the domain is the set of all of the x values that you can legitimately input into this if you view this as a function , if you said this is f of x is ...
let 's add x to both sides . we get 6 is equal to x , so the domain of this function is equal to the set of all real numbers except 6 . so , x could be all real numbers except 6 , because if x is 6 then you 're dividing by 0 , and then this expression is undefined .
why ca n't the domain be a set of all complex numbers except 6 ?

the domain is a set of all x values that you could input into this function and get something that is well-defined . the one x value that would make this undefined is the x value that would make the denominator equal 0 -- the x value that would make that equal 0 . so when does that happen ?
why any number to the power of zero equals to one ?

this is the exact same thing as 6 minus x if you just rearrange the two terms . negative x plus 6 is the same thing as 6 plus negative x , or 6 minus x . now you could cancel them out .
to keep the final answer , -x-6 , equivalent to the first expression , ( x^2-36 ) / ( 6-x ) , would n't you have to keep the constraint that x can not equal 6 ?
