Find the value of x for which the following  functions are undefined   (1) g:x→((5x+1)/2)  (2) f:x→3x^2 −5x+1
$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{x}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{which}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{following} \\ $$$$\mathrm{functions}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{undefined}\: \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{g}:\mathrm{x}\rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{5x}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{f}:\mathrm{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{3x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5x}+\mathrm{1}\: \\ $$

Afunction f is said to be defined in its domain.  so the value(s) of x that make the functions undefined  is/are what the question is asking for.   (1) Dom g= R  (so no value for x makes g undefined)  (2) Dom f = R(a polynomial)
