1. ## Range and Domain

I need a little help here-not sure if I got it right:
f(x)= 2/x+1, g(x)= x/x+1
domain of f is {x is part of a set where x >0} and domain of g is {x is part of a set where x is greater than or equal to 0} [0, infinity)U(0,infinity).

2. OK

Both of the functions are rational functions... in other words, of the form

$f(x) = \frac{g(x)}{h(x)}$, where $g(x)$ and $h(x)$ are continuous functions of $x$.

$f(x)$ is also continuous at all points except where the denominator $(h(x))=0$.

So where does the denominator equal 0? In both cases, where $x = -1$.

So the domain of each function is $\mathbf{R}\backslash \{-1\}$.

The first one...

4. Sorry for the double post, didn't realise I edited the first one instead of adding a new one.

No, but that's ok, that's what we're here for.

Just always have in the back of your mind "You can't divide by 0" and you'll be fine
