Answer:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the rational function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x-3}{4x-1}[/tex]
In rational functions, the domain is always all real numbers except for the values when the denominator equals zero. In other words, we need to find the zeros of the denominator:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}4x -1 & = 0 \\ \\ 4x & = 1 \\ \\ x & = \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the domain is all real number except for x = 1/4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The left interval represents all the values to the left of 1/4.The right interval represents all the values to the right of 1/4. The union symbol is needed to combine the two. Note that we use parentheses instead of brackets because we do not include the 1/4 nor the infinities. Ā
In conclusion, our answer is C.
