To find the domains you must graph this equation and find the x-coordinates of the points plotted. That's the domain.
Remember, if two points have the same x-coordinate then do not repeat the number when stating the domain. Domain also always must be written in the least to greatest order. Domains must be written with {} enclosing them.
The denominator of y cannot be zero as this would make y undefined . Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be. solve 3 x − 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 3 ← excluded value ⇒ domain is x ∈ R , x ≠ 2 3 Rearrange to make x the subject y ( 3 x − 2 ) = 1 ⇒ 3 x y − 2 y = 1 ⇒ 3 x y = 1 + 2 y ⇒ x = 1 + 2 y 3 y solve 3 y = 0 ⇒ y = 0 ← excluded value ⇒ range is y ∈ R , y ≠ 0

So if the x-coordinates were 4,5,6,4,7,5
You would write the domain as {4,5,6,7}
