23. Find the domain of \(\displaystyle f\left( w \right) = \frac{{{w^3} - 3w + 1}}{{12w - 7}}\).
Show SolutionIn this case we need to avoid division by zero issues so we’ll need to determine where the denominator is zero. To do this we will solve,
\[12w - 7 = 0\hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}w = \frac{7}{{12}}\]We can plug all other values of \(w\) into the function without any problems and so the domain is,
\[{\mbox{Domain : All real numbers except }}w = \frac{7}{{12}}\]
