What is one of the value must be excluded from the domain of the function g(x)= (3x-6)/(x^2-7x+12)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: you cannot divide by zero this means that the denominator cannot be zero

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so to find the excluded value or values, you need to solve x^2-7x+12 = 0 for x

i did, and i got both 3 and 4 for the answer, but my paper asked for one answer, so should i put 3 or 4 on my paper?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is it multiple choice? or fill in the blank?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neither one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh it's basically a free response

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, but it is like an SAT test, they gave you a grid to fill in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you can only have one answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then just pick one of the two if it only allows you to pick one answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

turns out that both 3 and 4 both are excluded values

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so just pick one of those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thank you
