$${means}\:{if}\:{given}\:{something}\:{like} \\ $$$${y}\:=\:\left({x}+\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{6}\right)\:{to}\:{find}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:{x}\:{for}\:{whichy}\:{isreal} \\ $$$$\:{x}\in\mathbb{R}? \\ $$

$$\mathrm{yes} \\ $$$${y}=\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$$${x}\in\mathbb{R}\:\Rightarrow\:{y}\in\mathbb{R} \\ $$$${y}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{5}\right)} \\ $$$${x}\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\left\{−\mathrm{5},\:\mathrm{3}\right\}\:\mathrm{because}\:{y}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{defined}\:\mathrm{for} \\ $$$$\mathrm{these}\:\mathrm{values} \\ $$$${y}=\frac{{x}−\mathrm{3}}{{x}+\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$${x}\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\left\{−\mathrm{5}\right\} \\ $$
