Well pre-calc I guess for now.

How do you find the domain of a function?

(5x+4)/(x^2 +3x+2)

I see that in the bottom -2 would cause division by 0.

So is the domain just x cannot equal -2?

the denominator factors to (x+1)(x+2) so x cannot = -1, -2

Yup. You can also graph the function to verify!
