Formula and explanation

For a rational function y = (P(x))/(Q(x)), its domain requires the denominator to be non - zero. Formula: x ∈ R Q(x) eq 0 Applicable Conditions: P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials or rational expressions. Brief Explanation: A denominator of zero makes the function value undefined, so these points must be excluded.
