I was going through some questions of Relations and Functions and now I am stuck to one. Question says Question: Domain of definition of the function f(x)=(9)/(9-x^2)+log_(10)(x^3-x) is? Till yet I know that the denominator of first term (i.e. (9)/(9-x^2) ) will be non-zero. So I figured, 9−x^2!=0 =>x!=+-3 And from second term (i.e. log_(10)x^3−x), we know that the term inside the logarithm can never be less than or equal to zero. So, log_(10)(x^3-x) =>x^3−x>0 => (x−1)x(x+1)>0 From here I know that if x−1 is negative when x<1 and positive when x>1. x+1 is negative when x<−1 and positive when x>−1. But I am still not getting the domain in a specific interval.I seriously need help in this. Thanks in advance

Domain of definition of the function
I was going through some questions of Relations and Functions and now I am stuck to one. Question says
Question: Domain of definition of the function
f ( x ) = 9 9 x 2 + log 10 ( x 3 x )
is?
Till yet I know that the denominator of first term (i.e. 9 9 x 2 ) will be non-zero. So I figured,
9 x 2 0
x ± 3
And from second term (i.e. log 10 x 3 x), we know that the term inside the logarithm can never be less than or equal to zero. So,
log 10 ( x 3 x )
x 3 x > 0
( x 1 ) x ( x + 1 ) > 0
From here I know that if x 1 is negative when x < 1 and positive when x > 1. x + 1 is negative when x < 1 and positive when x > 1. But I am still not getting the domain in a specific interval.
I seriously need help in this.
Thanks in advance

x 1 is negative when x < 1 and positive when x > 1. x + 1 is negative when x < 1 and positive when x > 1. Using this and the fact that the product of two negative numbers is positive and a negative times a positive is negative, you can find all x such that ( x 1 ) x ( x + 1 ) > 0
