Given:
The function is:
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{x^2-25}[/tex]
To find:
The values that are NOT in the domain of the given function.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{x^2-25}[/tex]
This function is a rational function and it is defined for all real values of x except the values for which the denominator is equal to 0.
Equate the denominator and 0.
[tex]x^2-25=0[/tex]
[tex]x^2=25[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides, we get
[tex]x=\pm \sqrt{25}[/tex]
[tex]x=\pm 5[/tex]
So, the values [tex]x=-5,5[/tex] are not in the domain of the given function.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
