help...??:)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the domain of a function anyway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@coolsday

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

OpenStudy (mertsj):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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..

@jim_thompson5910

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):

3?

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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
