Q. g(x)={5x+3 if x05x3 if x<0 g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{5}{x+3} & \text { if } x \geq 0 \\ \frac{5}{x-3} & \text { if } x<0 \end{array}\right. \newlineWhat is the domain of function g g ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) {xR} \{x \in \mathbb{R}\} \newline(B) {xRx±3} \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x \neq \pm 3\} \newline(C) {xR3<x<3} \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid-3<x<3\} \newline(D) {xRx<3 \{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x<-3 or x>3} x>3\}
  1. Identify Denominator Restrictions: For x0x \geq 0, g(x)=5(x+3)g(x) = \frac{5}{(x+3)}. We can't have a denominator of zero, so x+3x+3 cannot be zero. This means xx cannot be 3-3.
  2. Define Function for x0x \geq 0: For x<0x < 0, g(x)=5(x3)g(x) = \frac{5}{(x-3)}. Similarly, x3x-3 cannot be zero, so xx cannot be 33.
  3. Define Function for x<0x < 0: Combining both conditions, the domain of g(x)g(x) is all real numbers except xx cannot be 3-3 or 33.
  4. Combine Conditions for Domain: The correct answer is (B) xRx±3{x \in \mathbb{R} | x \neq \pm 3}.
