Step 1 :The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (often the 'x' variable), which produce a valid output from a particular function. The only values that are not in the domain of this function are those that make the denominator equal to zero, because division by zero is undefined.
Step 2 :We need to find the values of x that make the denominator equal to zero. The denominator of the function is \(x^{2} + 8x + 15\).
Step 3 :The solutions to the equation \(x^{2}+8 x+15=0\) are \(x=-5\) and \(x=-3\). These are the values that make the denominator of the function equal to zero, and thus are not in the domain of the function.
Step 4 :Therefore, the domain of the function is all real numbers except \(x=-5\) and \(x=-3\). In interval notation, this is \((-\infty, -5) \cup (-5, -3) \cup (-3, \infty)\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: The domain of the function in interval notation is \(\boxed{(-\infty, -5) \cup (-5, -3) \cup (-3, \infty)}\).
