\chapter{Functions and graphs} \section{Implicit definition of domain}
Check your understanding
Answer the questions in your own words. \begin{enumerate} \item Suppose a function is defined by a formula, without any other information. How do we find the domain? \item How do we find the domain for the function \(\displaystyle{f(x)=\frac{3x+8}{4x-7}}\)? \item How do we find the domain for the function \(f(x)=\sqrt{3x+5}\)? \item How do we find the domain for the function \(\displaystyle{f(x)=\frac{3x}{\sqrt{4x-3}}}\)? \item Why is the domain of \(\displaystyle{f(x)=3x^4-3x^2-\frac{3}{2}x +\sqrt{3}}\) the set of all real numbers \( (-\infty,\infty)\), even though the function contains a denominator and a square root? \end{enumerate}
