Find the Domain and Range f(x)=(2x)/(3x^2-3)

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

Step 1

Set the denominator in $\frac{2 x}{3 x^{2} - 3}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$3 x^{2} - 3 = 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 x^{2} = 3$

Divide each term in $3 x^{2} = 3$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 x^{2} = 3$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 x^{2}}{3} = \frac{3}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 x^{2}}{3} = \frac{3}{3}$

Divide $x^{2}$ by $1$ .

$x^{2} = \frac{3}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $3$ by $3$ .

$x^{2} = 1$

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt{1}$

Any root of $1$ is $1$ .

$x = \pm 1$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$x = 1$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$x = - 1$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x = 1, - 1$

Step 3

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, - 1) \cup (- 1, 1) \cup (1, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${x | x \neq 1, - 1}$

Step 4

The range is the set of all valid $y$ values. Use the graph to find the range.

Interval Notation:

$(- \infty, \infty)$

Set-Builder Notation:

${y | y \in ℝ}$

Step 5

Determine the domain and range.

Domain: $(- \infty, - 1) \cup (- 1, 1) \cup (1, \infty), {x | x \neq 1, - 1}$

Range: $(- \infty, \infty), {y | y \in ℝ}$

Step 6
