Find the removable discontinuity: d(x)=x^2-12x+20 / 3x

Alright so I looked at this http://www.mathwords.com/r/removable_discontinuity.htm And I'm thinking you just have to find where the function is undefined? I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

The one thing I remember is that functions are undefined if you divide by 0 so... take a look at your function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do I do with 0?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

What values of x would make d(x) something divided by 0? Hint: a constant times 0 is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Right. So the function should be discontinuous at x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh ok, what about z(x)=x^2-7x-8 / x^3+64? the removable discontinuity is x=4?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I would say yes but I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok! Thanks for the help

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

You're welcome. Hope I did help.
