Answer

a. {$x$|$x$ is a real number} b. $(-∞,∞)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function $f(x)=\frac{x+2}{14}$. The domain of the function will be all values of $x$ such that the denominator does not equal 0. Therefore, we can set the denominator equal to 0. We will exclude from the domain all values of $x$ that make the denominator equal 0. $14=0$ This is not a true statement, so we know that the domain includes all real numbers. Therefore, the domain is {$x$|$x$ is a real number} in set-builder notation and $(-∞,∞)$ in interval notation.
