What is the domain of (f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-9})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (\mathbb{R}\setminus{-3,3})

The direct answer is option A: ℝ\{−3,3}. The domain contains every real input for which the expression is defined. In f(x)=1/(x^2−9), the denominator must not be zero because division by zero is undefined. Set x^2−9=0. Then x^2=9, so x=3 or x=−3. These two real numbers must be excluded; every other real number is allowed. Therefore the domain is ℝ\{−3,3}. Option A is correct. Option B excludes only 9, but 9 is not the value of x that makes the denominator zero; at x=9 the denominator is 81−9=72. Option C, (−3,3), includes x=0, where the function is defined, but excludes many valid values outside the interval, so it is too small. Option D, [3,∞), incorrectly keeps only numbers at least 3 and also includes x=3, which is forbidden. Factor x^2−9=(x−3)(x+3) as a quick exam check: exclude the roots of the denominator.
