OpenStudy (mertsj):
@rileymarie6666 Do you know what it means by domain?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pretty sure its all the x's?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Yes. The domain is the set of "legal" x values

So that eliminates a couple of choices, doesn't it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
have you tried factoring out the denominator setting them to 0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its B:) i figured it out lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what would the x intercept be tho?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What do you think the x intercepts are?

idk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well, there are no x-intercepts
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about the y intercept?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find the y intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y in the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay i got 1... help with the next part? same equation..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what does the numerator factor to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure...
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is the GCF of 12 and 6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's a larger factor they both share?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
48
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
48 is a multiple of 6 and 12
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
a factor would have to be smaller or equal to that number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well my guess is 3

oh 6..
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so factor out -6 from the numerator to get
12 - 6x
-6(-2 + x)
-6(x - 2)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how would you factor the denominator?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay well now im on a different problem. can u help with the last part?

@coolsday
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
hint: the numerator factors to -2(x-3) and the denominator factors to (x-3)(x-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
will u give me the answer please i dont have a lot of time
