The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 2x + 3}{x^2 - 5x + 6} \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the function is defined. The function will be undefined wherever the denominator is equal to zero. ### Step 1: Set the denominator equal to zero We start by finding the roots of the denominator: \[ x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Factor the quadratic equation We can factor the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \) Setting each factor equal to zero gives us: \[ x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2 \] \[ x - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 3 \] ### Step 4: Identify the values to exclude from the domain The function \( f(x) \) is undefined at \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 3 \). Therefore, these values must be excluded from the domain. ### Step 5: Write the domain in interval notation The domain of the function is all real numbers except \( 2 \) and \( 3 \). In interval notation, this can be expressed as: \[ \text{Domain} = (-\infty, 2) \cup (2, 3) \cup (3, \infty) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the domain of the function \( f(x) \) is: \[ \text{Domain} = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x \neq 2, x \neq 3 \} \] ---
