We would write the domain as  (-∞,-4) U (-4, -2) U (-2,∞)

We only need to worry about the values that  make the denominator = 0   ..so we have

x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0     factor

(x + 4) (x + 2)  = 0

And setting each factor to ), we see that X = -4  and x = -2 make the denominator 0....so the domain is....all x's except -4 and -2
