Answer

Domain = $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}\backslash\{-\frac{3}{4}\}$ or $\displaystyle \{x\in \mathbb{R}\ |\ x\neq-\frac{3}{4}\}$

Work Step by Step

The domain of a real function ( a function defined on real numbers) is the set of numbers for which f(x) is defined. $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2x}{4x+3}$ can be calculated for any real number, except for those yielding a zero in the denominator. Here, $4x+3=0$ $4x=-3$ $x=-\displaystyle \frac{3}{4} \quad $must be excluded from the domain. Domain = $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}\backslash\{-\frac{3}{4}\}$ or $\displaystyle \{x\in \mathbb{R}\ |\ x\neq-\frac{3}{4}\}$
