Determine the largest possible domain of a rational function.

Consider the function \\[ f(x) = \\frac{\\var{a}}{(\\simplify{(x+{b})(x^2+{c})}} \\]

", "advice": "

For this problem, the function will not be defined if the denominator is zero.

\n

a) So, $f(x)$ is not defined if $\\simplify{x+{b}}=0\\implies x=\\simplify{-{b}}$.

\n

b) The largest possible domain is the set of real numbers $\\mathbb{R}$ excluding any numbers where $f$ is not defined. Therefore, the largest possible domain is

\n

$\\mathbb{R}\\backslash \\{\\simplify{-{b}}\\}$.
