The domain is all real numbers. #D:{x:(x=R)}:#
Domain is the set of all possible x values for a function. The function #y=5x^2+2x-1# is a parabola graphed below:

graph{5x^2+2x-1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

The function stretches infinitely in both x-directions and is uninterrupted. The y-values (range) are restricted to all values greater than #-1.2#
