1. Problem Description

The problem asks to write a program or define the domain of each of the following functions:

1. $f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1$

2. $g(x) = \frac{x-1}{x} + 2$

3. $h(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - \frac{1}{x}$

2. Solution Steps

1. For $f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1$, the domain is all real numbers since it's a polynomial.

2. For $g(x) = \frac{x-1}{x} + 2$, the domain is all real numbers except $x = 0$ because the denominator cannot be zero.

x0x \ne 0

3. For $h(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - \frac{1}{x}$, we have two restrictions: the expression inside the square root must be non-negative, and the denominator of the fraction cannot be zero.

x210x^2 - 1 \ge 0
x21x^2 \ge 1
x1|x| \ge 1, which means x1x \ge 1 or x1x \le -1.
Also, x0x \ne 0. Since x1x \ge 1 or x1x \le -1, x0x \ne 0 is already satisfied.
Therefore, the domain is x(,1][1,)x \in (-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty).

3. Final Answer

1. The domain of $f(x)$ is all real numbers, or $(-\infty, \infty)$.

2. The domain of $g(x)$ is all real numbers except 0, or $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$.

3. The domain of $h(x)$ is $(-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty)$.
