If the function f is continuous everywhere and \[f(x)=\frac{ x ^{2}-16 }{ x-4 }\] when x does not equal 4, find the value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, find the value of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use difference of squares.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait.. the answer is 8
