To find the domain of the rational function \( R(x)=\frac{13 x}{x+15} \), we need to determine where the function is defined. A rational function is undefined wherever the denominator equals zero. For this function, we set the denominator \( x + 15 = 0 \) and solve for \( x \): \[ x + 15 = 0 \implies x = -15 \] Therefore, the function \( R(x) \) is undefined at \( x = -15 \). The domain is all real numbers except this point. In interval notation, the domain of \( R(x) \) can be expressed as: \[ (-\infty, -15) \cup (-15, \infty) \] This means you can plug in any real number for \( x \) except for \( -15 \) and still get a result from \( R(x) \).
