${x in RR : x!=0}$

$(-oo,0)uu(0,oo)$

$g(x)=1/x$ is undefined for $x=0$ ( division by zero )

It is defined for all $RR$ except $0$ :

We can express this in set notation as:

${x in RR : x!=0}$

Or a union of intervals:

$(-oo,0)uu(0,oo)$

The parenthesis indicate open intervals, end points not included.
