If (f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-1}) and (g(x)=x+5), what is the domain of ((f-g)(x))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x\ne-1,1)

The direct answer is option A: all real numbers except \(x=-1\) and \(x=1\). The domain contains inputs for which both functions are defined. The function \(g(x)=x+5\) is a polynomial, so it is defined for every real number. For \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-1}\), the denominator cannot be zero. Thus \(x^2-1\ne0\), so \(x^2\ne1\), giving \(x\ne-1,1\). Therefore the domain is \(\mathbb{R}\setminus\{-1,1\}\). Option A is correct because it states exactly these exclusions. Option B wrongly excludes only zero; zero actually gives a valid denominator of \(-1\). Option C includes only numbers greater than 1, although many values less than 1 are also allowed. Option D incorrectly includes the two values that make the denominator zero. Memory cue: for a reciprocal, set the denominator unequal to zero.
