Domain Calculator
Find the real-number domain of common algebraic functions. Enter a function, analyze restrictions, and view the result in interval and set-builder notation.
Type an expression such as 1/(x-3), sqrt(x+2), or ln(x-1).
The calculator checks denominators, square roots, and logarithms.
See interval notation, excluded values, and the reason.
Polynomials accept all real numbers. Rational functions exclude values that make a denominator zero. Even roots require the radicand to be zero or positive. Logarithms require their argument to be strictly positive.
This calculator recognizes common single-variable forms including polynomials, simple rational functions, square roots, and natural or base-10 logarithms. Complex nested expressions may require symbolic math software.
What is the domain of a function?
The domain is the complete set of input values for which the function produces a valid output.
Why can a denominator not equal zero?
Division by zero is undefined, so any input that makes a denominator zero must be excluded.
Why must a square-root radicand be nonnegative?
For real-valued functions, an even root is only defined when the expression inside the root is at least zero.
