Final Answer

Show final answer

Solution

Let’s find the domain of the function:

$y=\frac{x^2+3}{2x-1}$

It is a rational function (a fraction of polynomials). Because there is a denominator, the denominator must be different from zero:

$2x-1\neq 0$

To get the final answer, isolate x on one side:

$2x\neq 1$

$x\neq \frac{1}{2}$
