Find interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=-\frac{ x^2-x-12 }{ x+3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did the factoring and cancel out (x+3)

Once again, we find ourselves with a rational function... which will be discontinuous only when the denominator is zero... bueno (LOL) When is the denominator equal to zero?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It does not matter if the denominator can be cancelled out.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

What exactly is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The P.D. is -3 Question: Find the intervals on which each function is continuos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my interval was (-infinity,-3),(-3,infinity)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well done.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Although, in this case, it's what's called a removable point of discontinuity... you'll probably tackle that sometime soon... how old are you anyway? :D

i just turned 18 today the 24th of April lol. I'm only in Algebra 2 though, i slacked too much when i should have

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Ohh... happy birthday :D LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldn't*

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

This looks more like a Calculus question to me :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea this small section is not in the book but our teacher wants to teach us that

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

I see. Well, you seem to have gotten the hang of it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
