1. How do you read $D=\{\forall x|x\in \Re ,x\neq -5\}$?

Answer: ${\begin{aligned}\overbrace {D} ^{\text{the domain}}\underbrace {=} _{\text{is}}\overbrace {\{} ^{\text{the set}}\underbrace {\forall x} _{\text{of all x}}\overbrace {|} ^{\text{such that}}\underbrace {x\in \Re } _{\text{x is an element of the real number set}}\overbrace {,x\neq -5} ^{\text{where x is not equal to -5}}\end{aligned}}$

2. How do you covert from radical form to exponential form?

Answer: ${\sqrt[{m}]{(x)^{n}}}=\left({\sqrt[{m}]{x}}\right)^{n}=x^{\frac {n}{m}}$ Where $m$ is called the index and $n$ is called the power.
