DO you have any idea
Not not really. I stink at this stuff. Sorry :(
oh ok
@Rainbowpower
Do you know?
yep hold on im working the problem out :)
Factoring polynomials never goes away. You have to factor numerator and denominator. x^3+x^2-4x-4 can be factored "by grouping" as X^3+x^2-4x-4=(x^3-4x)+(x^2-4)+(x^2-4)=(x+1)*(x^2-4) It can be factored further because the difference of squares x^2-4=x^2-2^2 factors as (x-2)*(x+2) x^2+2x-3=(x+3)*(x-1)
putting it all together:
oh and the function is not defined (it does not exist) for x=1 and for x=-3 because the denominator is zero for those values of x .
Hope this helps :) have a colorful day
@lala2
Sorry my computer wasnt working
so would the answer be x=1 and x=-3
@Rainbowpower ??
x=1 and x=-3 would result in a division by zero, and as you know that is a "no-no" and would result in a discontinuity.
Yes, that is what the problem is seeking.
so that is the answer
And what about this one Describe the vertical asymptote and hole for the graph of x^2+x-6/ x^2-9
@radar ??
????
a division by zero would occur a x=3
so is it x=3 and x=-3
I am not sure what occurs when x=-3 but x=3 and x=-3 is probably your best choice.
oh ok thanks... you know that question i sent you
and you asked if there was a slope
here is the graph
