Answer

$(-\infty, -2) \cup (-2, -1) \cup (-1, 0) \cup (0, +\infty)$

Work Step by Step

The given function is defined for all real numbers $x$ except for the ones that make the denominators equal to 0. Note that the denominator of: (i) $\dfrac{1}{x}$ will be zero when $x=0$; (ii) $\dfrac{1}{x+1}$ will be zero when $x=-1$; and (iii) $\dfrac{1}{x+2}$ will be zero when $x=-2$ Thus, the given function is defined for all real numbers $x$ except $-2, -1,$ and $0$. In interval notation, the domain is: $(-\infty, -2) \cup (-2, -1) \cup (-1, 0) \cup (0, +\infty)$
