The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{x}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \), we need to determine the values of \( x \) for which the function is defined. The function is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: The function is given as: \[ f(x) = \frac{x}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \] 2. **Set the denominator to zero**: To find when the function is undefined, we set the denominator equal to zero: \[ x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 \] 3. **Factor the quadratic equation**: We can factor the quadratic expression: \[ x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1)(x - 2) \] This means the equation can be rewritten as: \[ (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \] 4. **Find the roots**: Setting each factor to zero gives us the values of \( x \) that make the denominator zero: \[ x - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 1 \] \[ x - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 2 \] 5. **Determine the domain**: The function is undefined at \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 2 \). Therefore, the domain of the function is all real numbers except these two values: \[ \text{Domain of } f(x) = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x \neq 1, x \neq 2 \} \] ### Final Answer: The domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{x}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \) is: \[ \text{Domain} = \mathbb{R} \setminus \{1, 2\} \]
