Here are the domains of definition for each function:

  1. f(x)=−5f(x)=-5
  1. Identify the type of function.

    This is a constant function, which is a type of polynomial. Polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers.

    The domain of f(x)=−5f(x)=-5 is R\boxed{\mathbb{R}}.

    1. f(x)=3x−4f(x)=3x-4
  2. Identify the type of function.

    This is a linear function, which is a type of polynomial. Polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers.

    The domain of f(x)=3x−4f(x)=3x-4 is R\boxed{\mathbb{R}}.

    1. f(x)=−3x4−7x2+2x+5f(x)=-3x^4-7x^2+2x+5
  3. Identify the type of function.

    This is a polynomial function. Polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers.

    The domain of f(x)=−3x4−7x2+2x+5f(x)=-3x^4-7x^2+2x+5 is R\boxed{\mathbb{R}}.

    1. f(x)=2x+1(x−1)2−4f(x)=\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)^2-4}
  4. Identify restrictions.

    For a rational function, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.
    Set the denominator to zero and solve for xx:

    (x−1)2−4=0(x-1)^2 - 4 = 0
  5. Solve for xx.

    (x−1)2=4(x-1)^2 = 4

    Take the square root of both sides:

    x−1=±4x-1 = \pm\sqrt{4} x−1=±2x-1 = \pm 2

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    x−1=2  ⟹  x=3x-1 = 2 \implies x = 3 x−1=−2  ⟹  x=−1x-1 = -2 \implies x = -1

    So, x≠3x \ne 3 and x≠−1x \ne -1.

    The domain of f(x)=2x+1(x−1)2−4f(x)=\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)^2-4} is R∖{−1,3}\boxed{\mathbb{R} \setminus \{-1, 3\}}.

    1. f(x)=−4x(x+2)f(x)=\sqrt{-4x(x+2)}
  6. Identify restrictions.

    For a square root function, the expression under the square root must be greater than or equal to zero.

    −4x(x+2)≥0-4x(x+2) \ge 0
  7. Find the critical points.

    Set −4x(x+2)=0-4x(x+2) = 0. This gives x=0x=0 or x+2=0  ⟹  x=−2x+2=0 \implies x=-2.
    The critical points are x=−2x=-2 and x=0x=0.

  8. Test intervals.

    We test the intervals (−∞,−2](-\infty, -2], [−2,0][-2, 0], and [0,∞)[0, \infty).

    • For x<−2x < -2 (e.g., x=−3x=-3): −4(−3)(−3+2)=12(−1)=−12<0-4(-3)(-3+2) = 12(-1) = -12 < 0.
    • For −2≤x≤0-2 \le x \le 0 (e.g., x=−1x=-1): −4(−1)(−1+2)=4(1)=4≥0-4(-1)(-1+2) = 4(1) = 4 \ge 0.
    • For x>0x > 0 (e.g., x=1x=1): −4(1)(1+2)=−4(3)=−12<0-4(1)(1+2) = -4(3) = -12 < 0. The inequality −4x(x+2)≥0-4x(x+2) \ge 0 is satisfied when −2≤x≤0-2 \le x \le 0.

    The domain of f(x)=−4x(x+2)f(x)=\sqrt{-4x(x+2)} is [−2,0]\boxed{[-2, 0]}.

    1. f(x)=−6x(x+3)(4−x)f(x)=\frac{-6x}{(x+3)(4-x)}
  9. Identify restrictions.

    For a rational function, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.
    Set the denominator to zero and solve for xx:

    (x+3)(4−x)=0(x+3)(4-x) = 0

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    x+3=0  ⟹  x=−3x+3 = 0 \implies x = -3 4−x=0  ⟹  x=44-x = 0 \implies x = 4

    So, x≠−3x \ne -3 and x≠4x \ne 4.

    The domain of f(x)=−6x(x+3)(4−x)f(x)=\frac{-6x}{(x+3)(4-x)} is R∖{−3,4}\boxed{\mathbb{R} \setminus \{-3, 4\}}.

    1. f(x)=x+3x2−7xf(x)=\frac{x+3}{x^2-7x}
  10. Identify restrictions.

    For a rational function, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.
    Set the denominator to zero and solve for xx:

    x2−7x=0x^2 - 7x = 0
  11. Factor the denominator.

    x(x−7)=0x(x-7) = 0

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    x=0x = 0 x−7=0  ⟹  x=7x-7 = 0 \implies x = 7

    So, x≠0x \ne 0 and x≠7x \ne 7.

    The domain of f(x)=x+3x2−7xf(x)=\frac{x+3}{x^2-7x} is R∖{0,7}\boxed{\mathbb{R} \setminus \{0, 7\}}.

    1. f(x)=2x−53−xf(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2x-5}{3-x}}
  12. Identify restrictions.

    For a square root of a rational function, two conditions must be met:

    1. The expression under the square root must be non-negative: 2x−53−x≥0\frac{2x-5}{3-x} \ge 0.
    2. The denominator cannot be zero: 3−x≠03-x \ne 0.
  13. Solve the inequality 2x−53−x≥0\frac{2x-5}{3-x} \ge 0.

    Find the critical points by setting the numerator and denominator to zero:
    2x−5=0  ⟹  2x=5  ⟹  x=52=2.52x-5 = 0 \implies 2x = 5 \implies x = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5
    3−x=0  ⟹  x=33-x = 0 \implies x = 3

  14. Test intervals.

    We test the intervals (−∞,2.5](-\infty, 2.5], [2.5,3)[2.5, 3), and (3,∞)(3, \infty). Note that x=3x=3 is excluded due to the denominator.

    • For x<2.5x < 2.5 (e.g., x=0x=0): 2(0)−53−0=−53<0\frac{2(0)-5}{3-0} = \frac{-5}{3} < 0.
    • For 2.5≤x<32.5 \le x < 3 (e.g., x=2.8x=2.8): 2(2.8)−53−2.8=5.6−50.2=0.60.2=3≥0\frac{2(2.8)-5}{3-2.8} = \frac{5.6-5}{0.2} = \frac{0.6}{0.2} = 3 \ge 0.
    • For x>3x > 3 (e.g., x=4x=4): 2(4)−53−4=8−5−1=3−1=−3<0\frac{2(4)-5}{3-4} = \frac{8-5}{-1} = \frac{3}{-1} = -3 < 0. The inequality 2x−53−x≥0\frac{2x-5}{3-x} \ge 0 is satisfied when 2.5≤x<32.5 \le x < 3.

    The domain of f(x)=2x−53−xf(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2x-5}{3-x}} is [52,3)\boxed{\left[\frac{5}{2}, 3\right)}.

    1. f(x)=x+3x2+1f(x)=\frac{x+3}{x^2+1}
  15. Identify restrictions.

    For a rational function, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.
    Set the denominator to zero and solve for xx:

    x2+1=0x^2 + 1 = 0
  16. Solve for xx.

    x2=−1x^2 = -1

    There are no real solutions for x2=−1x^2 = -1, as the square of any real number is non-negative. Therefore, the denominator x2+1x^2+1 is never zero for any real xx.

    The domain of f(x)=x+3x2+1f(x)=\frac{x+3}{x^2+1} is R\boxed{\mathbb{R}}.

    1. f(x)=x+2(6−2x)(x+9)f(x)=\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{(6-2x)(x+9)}}
  17. Identify restrictions.

    For a square root in the denominator, the expression under the square root must be strictly greater than zero (cannot be zero because it's in the denominator).

    (6−2x)(x+9)>0(6-2x)(x+9) > 0
  18. Find the critical points.

    Set (6−2x)(x+9)=0(6-2x)(x+9) = 0. This gives:
    6−2x=0  ⟹  2x=6  ⟹  x=36-2x = 0 \implies 2x = 6 \implies x = 3
    x+9=0  ⟹  x=−9x+9 = 0 \implies x = -9
    The critical points are x=−9x=-9 and x=3x=3.

  19. Test intervals.

    We test the intervals (−∞,−9)(-\infty, -9), (−9,3)(-9, 3), and (3,∞)(3, \infty).

    • For x<−9x < -9 (e.g., x=−10x=-10): (6−2(−10))(−10+9)=(6+20)(−1)=26(−1)=−26<0(6-2(-10))(-10+9) = (6+20)(-1) = 26(-1) = -26 < 0.
    • For −9<x<3-9 < x < 3 (e.g., x=0x=0): (6−2(0))(0+9)=(6)(9)=54>0(6-2(0))(0+9) = (6)(9) = 54 > 0.
    • For x>3x > 3 (e.g., x=4x=4): (6−2(4))(4+9)=(6−8)(13)=(−2)(13)=−26<0(6-2(4))(4+9) = (6-8)(13) = (-2)(13) = -26 < 0. The inequality (6−2x)(x+9)>0(6-2x)(x+9) > 0 is satisfied when −9<x<3-9 < x < 3.

    The domain of f(x)=x+2(6−2x)(x+9)f(x)=\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{(6-2x)(x+9)}} is (−9,3)\boxed{(-9, 3)}.
