discontinuities of f[x]=[x^2-36]/[4x+24]

What does x equal when the denominator is zero? That will be where the function is discontinuous b/c division by zero is undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x ≠ – 6 !! right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayy!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woohoo!

And if you have a 2nd degree polynomial like (x+2)(x+1) that isn't factored this way, then make sure to factor it and find what x will equal when the denominator is zero.

tat makes sense.
