What is the maximal domain of these functions?

Need help figuring out, how to find the maximal domains of functions



$f(x) = frac{x^3-x}{2x^2+1}$



$f(x) = frac{x^2-5x+6}{x-2}$






functions

    I guess $f$ should be dependant on $y$ and $z$, not on $x$? Considering finding the domain: The domain of $f$ is the set of arguments for which $f$ is well-defined. So you need to ask yourself "when is $frac{a}{b}$ not well-defined?".

I will suppose $f(x)$ should be $f(y)$ and $f(z)$ and that we are working in $mathbb{R}$.




  1. This is a rational expression. The only restriction is that the denominator is not $0$. Since
    $$2y^2+1=0$$
    has no solution then the denominator does not impose any restriction on the domain. Hence $dom(f)=mathbb{R}$.


  2. Same thinking leads to
    $$z-2ne 0 Leftrightarrow zne 2.$$
    The domain is $mathbb{R}backslash{2}$.

The second function does not contain $z=2$ in the domain, but it can be extended continuously at this point, thus defined continuous, so the maximal domain would be all real numbers.

            Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

            Image
            0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
